MEDICINE HEAD ‘Only The Roses’ Angel Air RAJPCD902 (2004)
This single highlights the band’s ability to write a decent song. Only two tracks but ‘Only The Roses’ is a catchy number from John Fiddler and his band. Upbeat pop/rock of power 80s style with nod back at the folk of the band’s history.
The second track is an acoustic version of ‘Rising Sun’. Guitar, vocals and harmonica, it’s still a good listen.
But the band, music and era are no longer singles orientated, and haven’t been for many years, so unless there’s a specific release this is promoting, this single does seem somewhat pointless. Still, there’s many an album by this band worth checking out.

damn fine |
*** OK, approach with caution unless you are a fan |
** Instant bargain bin fodder | * Ugly. Just ugly
