Man rope in Queen’s producer but still sound American on Winos, Rhinos & Lunatics

Welsh rock band Man reunited with returning frontman Deke Leonard for their 1974 album *Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics*, produced by Roy Thomas Baker, later known for his work with Queen. The review considers how Baker’s production helped the group shape its loose, California-influenced sound into more structured songs.

The album has six tracks, including the languid “Kerosene” and the nine-minute “Scotch Corner”, alongside the instrumentals “Intro” and “Exit”. Listener reactions are mixed: some praise the guitars and the album’s more timeless moments, while others find parts dated or less appealing; one reviewer says the Welsh band sounds convincingly American.
