Kicking off the set with the churning jazz-rocker “Pieces of Mind,” Jack Bruce emphasizes his knack for delicately wrought pop melodies and unexpected arrangement ideas in tunes like “Golden Days,” “Running Through Our Hands," and “Into the Storm.” The album abounds with molten, subtly syncopated grooves and bracing lead guitar work (the latter courtesy of Detroit axeman Steve Hunter). “One” is a particular standout thanks to Bruce’s soulful vocals and Hunter’s Spanish guitar embellishments. Pete Brown’s lyrics have a darkly intimate quality, adding to Out of the Storm's overall impact.
