Comments

Inside The Groove

A roller-skater's mate by Mr. Hammond Organ

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Although Eddie Layton left several fine albums with awesome masterpiece technique for Hammond organ, this album (aimed for roller-skater's music) didn't move me a little, unfortunately :(

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

3 out of 10
