Uriah Heep - Can't Stop Singing ( High and Mighty 1976 )

High and Mighty is the ninth studio album released by British progressive rock band Uriah Heep.

"High and Mighty" was the last Uriah Heep album to feature vocalist and founding member David Byron, who was subsequently fired due to his troubles with alcohol.

The album was not terribly well-received, as stylistically it veers from the vein of experimental rock and ventures into slightly more mainstream territory, i.e. no overly lengthy compositions and a decided lack of songs dealing with fantastical subject matter.

John Wetton and Ken Hensley share vocal duties on One Way Or Another.

The original vinyl release was a single sleeve, with the lyrics reproduced on the inner-liner.

If this was the first ever album by the Heep I've heard I think it'd be good enough keep me interested the band. And furthermore, I'd really be in for a treat going through their earlier titles! :D

I believe the intro starts off as "Load of laughs in Africa"

Hmmm...around the 1:55 mark they sound a bit, momentarily, like a Steely Dan wanna-be. And the late Mr. Byron's trying to sound Jamaican? Nonetheless, I like this song by Three Dog Hee-, er, Uriah Heep.

@uriah768ok Uriah, in (1976?) when my buddy and I first heard this, that's exactly what WE said. This is a good song even if it wasn't up to U H "standards". (What we thought they were supposed to be. ">)

@uriah768ok I thought I was the only one who felt this way! It sounds like something Three Dog Night would in 1973-74

I don't rank this as one of their best albums but it does have some good stuff on there, I'm surprised this song gets a bad rep by many Heep fans cause I thought this was one of the better songs on the album, I love the intro to this song

@MrDavidrobinS I totally agree, its not as good as older albums, but I stil like the songs, it still has its orginality.

I didn't dislike the High and Mighty LP as such, and there are some reasonable tracks on there (mostly on side 1), but when you compare it to the earlier LPs like Demons & Wizards, it was nowhere near as good. This particular track to me summed up the "ordinaryness" of some of the material on here. Tracks like this you'd play once or twice & then not bother again for a long while. Overall, with Byron causing problems because of his drinking, clearly something had to change in the band....

This sounds so much like Three Dog Night. Wow.
