Help Yourself - Help Yourself
Review by Robert St.
Help Yourself's self-titled album is a classic rock masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of psychedelic, folk, and country influences. Released in 1971, the album features ten tracks that are filled with catchy hooks, intricate guitar work, and thoughtful lyrics.
From the opening track "Running Down Deep," Help Yourself sets the tone for an album that is both introspective and uplifting. The band's use of harmonies and intricate arrangements creates a sound that is both complex and accessible. Tracks like "To Katherine They Fell" and "Old Man" showcase the band's ability to craft memorable melodies and lyrics that are both poetic and relatable.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Paper Leaves," a beautiful ballad that features lead singer Richard Treece's emotive vocals and stunning guitar work. The track is a perfect example of the band's ability to create music that is both introspective and deeply emotional.
