The original classic String Driven Thing lineup may have disintegrated in at the end of 1973, but violinist Graham Smith soldiered on, re-forming the band and releasing two further albums, neither of which had much of anything to do with the original band and should be approached for what they were -- the legacy of a band that simply had the same name as another one, because that is as far as the similarity goes. Not that this is a bad thing. Following firmly in the footsteps of its predecessor, Keep Yer And on It is packed with catchy hooks, and the sound is rich throughout. Both Call Out for Mercy and Stand Back in Amazement are bona fide rock numbers and stand strong and hold up well against any other of their ilk, while String Driven Things psych-tinged take on the Beatles Things We Said Today is one of the standouts on the album; its loose and free without sprawling and overall a nice reinvention.
