Though Styx became known as purveyors of seamless AOR power ballads in the late 1970s, few recall that they spent the early part of that decade working a grittier, more complex format. Before

singer/songwriter/guitarist Tommy Shaw arrived to aid Styx in their

pursuit of the mainstream, they released four albums on indie label

Wooden Nickel between 1972 and 1974. With original guitarist John

Curulewski still on board, Styx had a harder edge and a more eclectic

sound. Those four albums are neatly compiled here on two discs.

The stylistic spectrum traversed therein encompasses prog-rock epics,

Lynyrd Skynyrd-like blues-rockers, classical flourishes, metal-tinged

hard rock, and even the occasional touch of jazz fusion. Of course, the

hook-heavy songwriting and spotless vocal harmonies that would later

make Styx superstars are present throughout, as is the early sleeper hit

"Lady," a foreshadowing of things to come. For those who think the story

of Styx began with "Come Sail Away," THE COMPLETE WOODEN NICKEL RECORDINGS will be an education.
