The Earl Slick Band: Razor Sharp
Richard Cromelin, Phonograph Record, September 1976
THE EARL SLICK Band's second album stops just when it gets going. Its ninth and final cut, Games, is what one hoped would happen when Slick got together with producer John Alcock, whose work with Thin Lizzy shows he's no slouch when it comes to preserving the rock 'n' roll spirit in the studio.
