Drummer Skip Prokop formed Lighthouse in 1968 and began adding members soon after: guitarist Ralph Cole (whom Prokop had played with in the Paupers), Grant Fullerton, Pinky Dauvin, saxophonist Howard Shore, cellist Dick Armin, violinist Don DiNovo, keyboard player Paul Hoffert, saxophonist Keith Jollimore, vocalist Bob McBride, trumpeter Peter Pantaluk, trombonist Larry Smith and bassist Louis Yackniw.
The band released two singles on RCA in 1970 and played at the Newport and Monterey Jazz Festivals and the Isle of Wight Festival, though they had turned down Woodstock.
Thoughts of Movin’ on was a disappointment after such an excellent album as “One Fine Morning”. The elements that made the previous album an exciting and colourful record seemed to be missing here, and most of the songwriting never reaches the level of the previous album.
But Shore wrote two of the better tracks on the album in form of the catchy “What Gives You the Right” and the atmospheric ballad “You and Me” that featured some Tull-ish flute. The rest varies from decent to mediocre and then finally to downright crappy. “Take It Slow (Out in the Country)”, “I Just Wanna Be Your Friend”, “Rockin’ Chair” and “Insane” are all listenable rockers, but there is nothing particularly memorable or outstanding about them. “I’m Gonna Try to Make It” and the gospel-influenced “Walk Me Down” are better and more interesting, but only slightly. “I’d Be So Happy” tries to recreate the grand sound of some of the most grandiose moments of “One Fine Morning” but partly fails, as the melodies simply aren’t strong enough compared to the standard of that album. The bottom is reached with “Fly My Airplane”. If you ever wondered how half-assed, cheesy and repetitive a tune could be, this one gives you the answer. The album could still have been worse, but as “One Fine Morning” demonstrates, also better.
