A great overlooked album.......2006-06-14
At the Third Stroke is a truly great overlooked album. Contains two of the best songs ever written in the Rock Era - the haunting "Cast the Spirit" and the equally compelling piano laced "My Judgement Day" Incredible!
Life after Argent.......2000-01-19
Most music fans remember Russ Ballard (if they recognize the name at all!) as guitarist/vocalist for 1970's British prog-rockers Argent. Although the band's "leader" was ex-Zombies keyboardist Rod Argent, Russ Ballard was thier secret weapon,penning some of the better Argent tunes. "At The Third Stroke" is one of his better solo efforts, featuring his always excellent songwriting, vocal and guitar playing skills. Standout tracks include "Helpless" and "Dancer". If you enjoy mid 70's jazz-rock-pop hybrid (think McDonald-era Doobies or Bob Welch-era Fleetwood Mac), you'll enjoy this one!
