The other songs on the albm are more jazzish to me in style. Anyway, a band that sounds great live is a real plus. But also it depends on the inginuity of those that compile the album in the studio. There are very talented and creative people that can produce an album. But may not be a good live group. The work of Alan Parsons on Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and "The Beatles - Abbey Road" album show credance of a great person to compile and orchestrate the material. Of course the band has a lot to do with it also. Since "Al Stewart" was also one of the albums that he helped produce. I liked the album. But apparently the band did not appeal to a lot of others. I loved the studio albums from Alan Parson's Project from "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination", "I Robot", "Pyramid" and the like. But it wasn't really a band to say. It was just mastery in the studio.
