Westcoast sound

Hello folks, here we go again with another fine post. As always, I didn't receive any reactions to my last posts, but a lot of downloads. So this says all about the mentality of most people, if it's for free, always take it but no need to say thanks...

Nevertheless, there are also many people who appreciate my postings, especially the SNAIL posting received huge reactions, so I decided to get their second album, "Flow" to post here, too. It took some time 'till I found a copy, but here it is, at last.

"Flow" follows the same formula as its predecessor, soft rockin' music with catchy tunes. Although the songwriting is not as strong as on the first album, you'll find ten decent songs on this one, even a cover version of the BEATLES' "And Your Bird Can Sing". A really enjoyable album.



Snail - Flow (1979)
Tracklist:
1. I've Got a Lady
2. Here With You
3. Love Should Flow
4. Threw It Away
5. Lettin' Go
6. Tonight
7. Rollin' In Your Love
8. Forever
9. And Your Bird Can Sing
10. Broke Up, Broke Down

I agree, The songwriting isn't as strong on the second Snail record. It is good though. Thanks.

Hey, thanks a lot for your efforts! Been looking for this.

I'll agree it's less spectacular than the first Snail album, but it makes for better background music as it's less catchy but still really nice. "Lettin' Go" is beautiful.

All the best!

I can't believe you found the Snail albums (1 & 2)! I remember seeing this band around Santa Cruz in the late 70's. You think the albums are good you should have seen them in person. Amazing. THANK YOU!!!

Many thanks for the first Snail album. I have been looking for it a long time. My vinyl copy is worn out and not worth digitizing and I couldn't find a CD to buy

Hi, nice blog of yours. This was one of the first albums I bought and I haven't heard it in a long time. Thanks for the post but would you kindly provide the password?

You can get Snail's CDs from Renaissance Records online. They are a label that specializes in pressing CDs from albums that have been abandoned by the main labels.
