It reminds me of the Stone's Exile on Mainstreet, or more accurately what the Stones wanted Exile to be. Spencer's tunes are amazing send ups and homages of sun city sounds, and yes, Kirwan's songs are excellent rock tunes.

Kiln House without Peter Green was forcing Jeremy Spencer to recreate songs from the 1950's. Spencer offers NOTHING original to Kiln House. Kirwan does offer original ideas, and they are great.
If Peter Green stayed with FM for say....ten more months post 5/1970, Fleetwood Mac would've been bigger than the Rumours band. If WB released the Boston Tea Party tapes as intended in late 1970, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Those Boston tapes would trump the Allmans in 1971.
