Brothers Adrian and Paul Gurvitz were responsible for some of the most progressive hard rock sounds of the late '60s and '70s, first in The Gun and later with Cream drummer Ginger Baker in The Baker Gurvitz Army.

Between these two bands, however, lay perhaps the best of them Three Man Army released three records from 1971 to 1974 that would fit nicely into the collection of British heavy rock heavy-British rock collection alongside, say, Cactus and Jeff Beck's Truth and Beck Ola records. 1974's Two was confusingly their third album, and it's safe to say they saved the best for last.

Polecat Woman opens the record with a Led Zep-like boogie stomp, Today is very Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, and Flying almost sounds like a harder version of Badfinger. But the highlight might be I Can't Make the Blind See, which with its orchestration and soulful vocals almost sounds like a power ballad from Traffic.
