Sorrow. They followed this with a string of albums in the 1970's which saw line ups changes and a firm following in the States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1972’s Freeway Madness is the sixth album by the band, recorded without founding member Dick Taylor and long-term bassist Wally Waller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was the first for Warner Bros. and marked a change in direction sonically with the aforementioned Waller on production duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn retrospect, this feels like the first part of a musical trilogy along with Silk Torpedo and Savage Eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhil May and Pete Tolson team up to do most of the writing, with lush harmonies aplenty and an overall more American radio-friendly sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFreeway Madness sits comfortably between the best of American rock of the time and is well worthy of fresh retrospection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e1.
