String Driven Thing-String Driven String

The second self titled album from this Scottish band. Formed by Chris and Pauline Adams and Graham Smith on violin, this was released in 1972. Smith’s violin is the lead instrument on most of these Folk Rock songs. “Circus”, “My Real Hero” and “Jack Diamond” were all songs I heard on the radio when this record came out. They are the only good songs on the record. Don’t remember when I bought this but at least 30 years ago. A used one that says DJ Use Only on the label. The cover is in bad shape and the record is even worse. Another one to trash. Graham Smith later joined Van Der Graff Generator.The band broke up and reformed many times with different members last putting out something in 2015
