Wally
Chris Salewicz, NME, 11 January 1975
A CURIOUS ONE indeed is Wally's first album. You know, I listened to it the appropriate five or six times and each play only highlighted further unease that there was perhaps a soupcon more to the band than the glib classification of "country side of technoflash spectrum" that I'd jotted down in a notepad after an initial listen.
