Whale Meat Again is the second studio album by the British musician Jim Capaldi, released by Island Records in 1974. Like his first solo album, it failed commercially in his native United Kingdom but did better in the United States. With help from the opening track, "It's All Right", which spent seven weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 55, the album reached number 191 in the Billboard 200.




Reception



AllMusic's retrospective review commented that the album was more focused on mood than Capaldi's debut, with longer songs built on soulful grooves "giving this album a funkier, open feel that lingers longer than the songs." In a review for the 2012 reissue of the album, Terry Stauntman of the British magazine Classic Rock remarked how this album "represents a further moving away from Traffic's sound and Capaldi marking out his own territory more forcefully".
