Silent Partner is from the city of Athens (Georgia), formed in the mid-70s. The group’s main composers were Kemp Jones, Don Porterfield and Ben Bickerstaff. Their debut album was recorded in 1978 and early 1979, in the 8-track Studio “Country Roads Studios” in Marion (North Carolina), the initial edition of 500 copies.
This album is very Genesis and Stackridge-like with the music-hall type numbers, folky material, silly lyrics, etc. However the last track is a power-blast of fusion that will sweep you away like a jet engine does an unfortunate pigeon. Having said that, it's quite hit and miss with a number of super-annoying songs, just as Stackridge used to do.
