ジャケット：非コーティングのぺらジャケです。四隅微スレ。わずかな使用感のみ、ぴんとした美品です。
ディスク：レーベルはヒゲが少々。盤面は微スレが見られますがまずまず。部分試聴しました。ところどころでチリプチ、プツ音少し。ややB+寄り。実際の音源を参考にしてください。

マック・ゲイデンの2nd「スカイボート」。
ナッシュビル生まれのスワンプ野郎、Area Code 615の中心メンバー、Barefoot Jerryを1st限りで脱退、その後はセッション活動と同時にソロ活動も開始。73年にファースト・ソロ、激レア名作"McGavock Gayden"を英国のみでリリース、その後本作へと続きます。
全体的にこてこての暑苦しいスワンプ作ではなくて、どこか清涼感があったり、ストリングス入りの壮大な曲があったりでバラエティにとんだ内容。フリーソウル的なポップ感覚が心地よいです。
この人はやっぱトレードマークのスライド・ギターが素晴らしいですね。J.J. Caleの"Crazy Mama"で勇名を馳せた独特のワウワウ・スライドギターが圧巻です！
オススメ。
レアな英国盤です。良品です。
