    Catherine Howe - What a beautiful place (1971)

    Nice voice indeed....she reminds me of a more mainstream midtempo pastoral version of Laura Nyro. The cover gives a nice atmospheric feel while listening to the songs though none of them really stand out much for me . Still....a pleaasnt lp for those who like mellow songs like that.

    Good drum songs.

    Brufords drumming on the first UK lp is excellent...a clip of this one early intro track with Holdsworth on guitar, Wetton bass and vocals, Jobson on keys.

    What do you think of this song? I had it on a mix tape

    WElcome to the forum. I'm not a big fan of 'hair metal' but it fits the metal genre well. You might like this thread where that song would fit in nicely and compare well with others there. https://www.classicrockforums.com/threads/rate-the-song-above-you-metal-heavy-rock-version-m.30102/
