On Imagination Lady Stan does a cover of 'Going Down' made famous by Freddie King..i liked Chicken Shack when Christine McVie was in the band.. Stan is one of those British blues guitarists that deserved more acclaim, along with the likes of Snowy White and Pete Haycock from Climax Blues...- BluesRocker

Rory never really got the full recognition that he deserved, but i think that was mainly due to the fact of Rory shunning the limelight and not getting involved in all that showbiz nonsense..Rory steadfastly refused to release singles and he wouldn't appear on trendy pop music shows such as Top...- BluesRocker
