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. ~ James Chrispell
