In the '70s, drummer Alan White was among the Yes members who recorded solo projects; the others included Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, and Rick Wakeman. Ramshackled, White's only solo album, was far from a huge seller, but some Yes fans bought it out of curiosity. Many of them were no doubt expecting to hear progressive rock, but this out of print LP is a long way from Relayer or Tales from Topographic Oceans. Instead, White turns his attention to blue-eyed soul-pop and, to a lesser degree, jazz fusion with erratic results. While the singing is unimpressive, some of the material is OK. "One Way Rag," "Giddy," and "Ooooh Baby" have more in common with Van Morrison than with Yes, King Crimson, or Genesis, and the jazz fusion instrumental "Avakak" might have worked on a CTI session of the early to mid-'70s. Meanwhile, the most embarrassing tune on the album is "Silly Woman," a painfully square and downright corny attempt at reggae or Caribbean music. Although Ramshackled isn't terrible, most of the Yes fans who bought it agreed that their money hadn't been well spent. The LP soon ended up in the cutout bins, and White's attempt at solo career died a quick death.
