Overview

Following the success of Climbing! and appearances at Woodstock and other outdoor festivals of the day, Mountain recorded more of the same for Nantucket Sleighride. The title track is a nice mixture of classical-leaning intertwined with moderate rock; both "Don't Look Around" and "The Animal Trainer and the Toad" continue on the hard rock path so well-worn by this band. Not groundbreaking, but it is well worth listening to. In 2004, a year after Sony Music issued its own ten-song expanded version of Nantucket Sleighride, which contained a previously unissued live cut of "Travellin' in the Dark (To E.M.P.)," Repertoire Records released this 12-track expansion. The improved sound only enhances the virtues of the original, and the two extra bonus cuts are a high-wattage rendition of "Roll Over Beethoven" and the crunchy, rumbling bluesy "Crossroader," both sides of a 1971-vintage single that sound like the work of Cream on steroids. Chris Welch's notes are also highly entertaining and informative. ~ James Chrispell & Bruce Eder
