 "Duck" (this is the title) is an album entirely in the KC style, with all the pros and cons of the case

 Charming, impressive, showy, vainglorious, in constant and almost flaunted search for contact with the audience, not cold, not very English, practically perfect for the splendid and warm evening that Lecce offered to them and especially to the audience!
