Steppenwolf At Your Birthday Party CD

 Good Album, but I prefer first, second, four
Third album for Steppenwolf, recorded in 1969. This album is a bridge between The Second Album (1968) and Monster (1970). Is a very good album, with very good songs like Chicken wolf, Cat killer, Rock me and the classic It´s never too late. A good album but not compare to the first, the second or monster. My honest opinion: you can buy it, very nice price for a good album

 The Third in Rapid Succession
Slightly better sound quality than the second but neither the second or this one compare to the first. Musicianship slips a little here as well, (timing problems), but after this album the original lineup starts to be replaced. Again, like the second album, we hear an alternate vocalist and like I stated in my review of the second album, I think this was a mistake. Still, there are some interesting tracks and for me the album experience is better with diversity in song style and production, but John Kay's vocal sound is Steppenwolf. I, however, believe in ten tracks that are all excellent vs. more tracks for your money. Re-mastering and trimming to ten songs would make this a winner, but buy it anyway!

 Don't miss being "AT YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY"
This quite jem from Steppenwolf collection opens with,"Don't Cry" a typical rocker from the band that making a surprise unknown hit. True to form, John Kay belts out more political songs with "Chicken Wolf" and "God Fearing Man", a must for 60's generation children. Included in this album are 2 mood music instrumentals, a jazzy "Cat Killer" and relaxing "Mango Juice". For the ladies there is to lovely ballads of "Lonely Meter" and "She'll Be Better" sangs with sincerely. Then there are the true to form classic hits from the band, "It's Never Too Late", "Rock Me", "Jupiter Child" which still sound fresh on the album they were meant to be on. Finally is song title of "Happy Birthday", it is welcome change from another band fast rocker. This tune has the well meaningful lyics for someone special in your life. The only thing lacking is cover art from the original album, thus giving this a great price that can't be beat.
