Editorial Reviews
Album Description
A Foot In Cold Water was a Canadian progressive rock group that issued a handful of albums in the early 1970s. One of these, issued on Elektra Records in 1974, was the only album to get a foothold in the U.S. Previously only available as a hard to find Canadian import, we now make it available at an affordable price.

A Hidden Gem
One of the truly great rock albums of the seventies, or any other decade, here's a band with talent to burn. This album rewards repeated listening, the songs only improve with age. Lead vocalist Alex Machin possesses one of the finest, most distinctive voices in the genre, lead guitarist Paul Naumann is the master of the understated slow burn. The rhythm section of Bob Horne (keyboards), Hughie Leggat (bass) and Danny Taylor (drums) lock the groove down so tightly you couldn't budge it with an 18 wheeler. The album opens with "I Know What You Need", a mid tempo rock song filled with hooks; check out the bridge for an example of the band's outstanding ensemble work. The album closes with "Para-Dice", a stunning example of A Foot In Coldwater's quiet fire. The songs in between cover a shocking amount of diverse ground, with playing and songwriting displaying an astounding width and depth of creativity.
Foot in Coldwater-Canada at it's Best
For those who did not have their finger on the pulse of the local (Toronto area) Canadian music scene in the 70's this band is probably obscure, (remember the hit (Make Me Do Anything You Want?} Having said that, if you give this band a listen you will find a group of very talented musicians. Their song writing abilities and talent as players is excellent. I would also recommend their first two releases (A Foot in Coldwater and The Second Foot in Coldwater) as these are probably better examples of these fine musicians at their best.
