Rocktopia: Salem Hill - 'Pennies In The Karma Jar' - CD Review

A Fireworks Magazine / Rocktopia album review by Gary Marshall: Despite owning all their output, Salem Hill had never been a band that featured in my thinking for album of the year or even made it onto the shortlist for such an accolade. I therefore ran through their back catalogue and the realisation dawned that they had what I think of as a particularly American trait, a predilection for throwing in unrelated heavy and off kilter bits into their music under the impression that this passed for Progressive. I am pleased to say that they appear to have eradicated this trait from their music and as a consequence this album makes for an extremely pleasing listen, almost all the way through.
