Not all the songs on this two-album set are great, but they’re solid reminders of a group of blue-collar, hard working, dedicated musicians. They would’ve played for free if just given the chance to be heard. The Gettin Lucky album is worth 3 stars, but the Head East album is a solid 4 stars. If you like 70’s bands like Journey, REO Speedwagon, & BTO, this album will fit the bill. However, if you only want one Head East album, then get “Flat as a Pancake.”
