Album Review:

Billboard (1/21/78) - "This second album by Sea level sees the group expand from four to seven members. Good lead vocals from Chuck Leavell on what is basically a set of well-crafted Southern boogie rock. Sea Level's music recalls the solid down-home approach of the Allman Bros., while still creating its own identity. Excellent use of the Muscle Shoals horns and a string quartet. Best cuts: "That's Your Secret," "Had To Fall," "Song For Amy." Dealers: The group made the top 50 with its first LP in 1977."

*****Sea Level music review - My search has ended
i've been looking for this artist and album/cd forever. i 've called radio stations, searched the web, and couldn't find out who did "thats your secret". i use to hear it on XRT 93.1 fm in chicago in the 70's but lost track of it. i'd ask people if they knew of it and only got blank stares. then driving through St Louis KSHE 95fm last month i heard "thats your secret" and was floored by its sound still, but alas i lost the signal before they said who it was. it made my day today to finally find this gem. its ordered and i can't wait for it's arrival

*****Sea Level music review - A certain Southern Sound
There is a certain southern instrumental sound that you get on Albums like Eat a Peach and the early Dregs albums. If you like that sound, go buy this album. I remember listening to this band open for George Benson at a club in Chicago. Benson was great as usual. But I remember these guys bringing the house down as a prelude.

*****Sea Level music review - One More Thing...
Leavell is da man, and I don't mean to take anything away from him, but somebody should mention that in addition to some of the sharpest fusion instrumentals ever this album has two fine vocal songs by one of America's great songwriters, Randall Bramblett: "That's Your Secret" and "It Hurts When You want It So Bad."
