Moonrider - Moonrider (Digipack)

Original release 1975
Re-issue 2009 Mandala Records
Digipak-CD !

A little-known sole outing from this mid-70s outfit signified a collaboration between 60s British star Keith West (ex-Tomorrow) and guitarist John Weider (Animals, Family, Stud, Brinsley Schwarz). It's a mellow country-rock album with memorable melodies in the vein of Cochise and Wishbone Ash. Definitely one for collectors, and this year's Japanese CD reissue is a welcome development!
