Our Take

Argent's self-titled debut album is a delightful little time capsule from the swinging '60s. From the opening track "Like Honey," with its catchy melody and infectious groove, to the closing number "It's Only Money (Part 1)," this album is a whirlwind ride through the era of bell bottoms and flower power.

Rod Argent's keyboard playing is nothing short of magical, effortlessly switching between piano, organ, and even a bit of harpsichord thrown in for good measure. And let's not forget about Russ Ballard's soulful vocals, which bring a touch of raw emotion to tracks like "Rejoice" and "Be Free."

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. The band also delves into darker territory on the haunting "Liar" and the brooding "He's a Dynamo." These tracks showcase a depth and complexity that sets Argent apart from your average '60s pop group.

Overall, Argent's debut is a solid entry in the British Invasion canon, with enough catchy hooks and killer keyboard riffs to keep you grooving all night long. So grab your lava lamp, dust off your vinyl, and get ready to take a trip back in time with this gem of an album.

Moving on to "Ring of Hands," Argent's sophomore effort is a more ambitious and eclectic affair than their debut. The band experiments with different sounds and genres, from the funky guitar licks of "Celebration" to the prog-rock vibes of "Rosie."

Rod Argent's keyboard wizardry is on full display throughout the album, with tracks like "Sweet Mary" and "Christmas for the Free" showcasing his unparalleled skill and creativity. And let's not forget about Russ Ballard's stellar songwriting, which shines on tracks like "Sleep Won't Help Me" and "Where Are We Going Wrong."

But perhaps the standout moment on "Ring of Hands" is the epic title track, a sprawling opus
