Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully Remastered Audio / Second and final album from this classic Southern Rock band / 12-page full colour booklet 4,000 word essay, new interview, enhanced artwork, and rarely seen photos Being in a band is a situation fraught with potential problems. If it s not internal friction, stolen equipment or a clash of musical direction then insurmountable business problems often derail proceedings. For Stillwater their biggest hurdle came in the form of a career-ending incident, when their record label filed for bankruptcy just as this, their second album, was released. It was an impossible situation for them to overcome, despite the quality of this record and the band's momentum from their acclaimed debut album and impressive live work. Based in Macon, Georgia, Stillwater had developed a fine reputation before being snapped up by the premiere Southern Rock label Capricorn records, home to a myriad of home-grown talent such as The Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie, The Marshall Tucker Band and Grinderswitch, amongst many others. The addition of Stillwater to the roster worked well for both the band and the label. Their debut album (also available on Rock Candy) spawned a minor hit single, helping to tee the band up nicely for album #2. Issued in 1979 and produced once again by Atlanta Rhythm Section producer/writer Buddy Buie, at Studio One in Doraville, this album found the band developing their style and swagger in no uncertain terms. Boasting a number of superb tracks, including Kalifornia Kool , Fair Warning and the seven minute long title track, featuring some blistering lead guitar work. It also contained a superb duet on the song Ain't We A Pair with fellow Capricorn artist, the legendary Bonnie Bramlett. Track Listing: I Reserve The Right; Women (Beautiful Women); Keeping Myself Alive; Kalifornia Kool; Sometimes Sunshine; Fair Warning; Alone On A Saturday Night; Ain't We A Pair
