Review

After losing Tolman (and with him their edge), True West pressed on as a quartet. Despite compensatory efforts - the countryish Hand of Fate receives valuable guitar assistance from Matt Piucci (Rain Parade) and Chuck Prophet (Green on Red)- Tolman's departure had a major negative impact on True West. The record is by no means bad, just colorless. A careful, nostalgic cover of the Yardbirds' "Happenings Ten Years' Time Ago" lacks the energy surge needed to justify the effort.
