Freedom to Music
Wally – Valley Gardens (1975) (@256)

(Review from progarchives.com)
Before they released their second album in 1975, Paul Gerrett leaves the band is replaced by Nick Glennie-Smith.
The music on this album is a lot more symphonic and space rock’ed than the debut album. The sound is pretty full of spacey elements. Pink Floyd is a natural inspiration, it seems. Yet the music is still rooted in country & western, with the violin still omni-present.
The nineteen minutes long “The Reason Why” is noteworthy, a work out of astronomical proportions with space rock and country vocal harmonies.
This is an interesting album, with a sound that promised more than they delivered by the time the band broke up.
