Notes: Six years almost to the day passed before Mike Rutherford brought out the successor to The Road. Let Me Fly is the second album of the new-formed Mechanics with new singers Tim Howar and Andrew Roachford. We have picked the first song of the album as the Track Of The Week. Regardless of what you think about The Letter, it is a good start into the album.
In his review of the album Christian ventures to state that The Letter may be the best song on the album. Is it, or is ist just a rehash of old Mechanics sounds and recycled ideas from Silent Running?
