Released in 1970 this is one historys most underated albums when it comes to Hard/Heavy rock impact. Classic rock magazine even called them “the lost pioneers of Heavy metal” Not bad..

Originated from Houston Texas this four piece band(at the time of this album) put in a lot of Sabbath/blues into their Music. With the vocals howling and great fuzzy guitar to follow it up, this is a treasure for those who are in to hard/psych/Heavy rock from the early 70´s.

Many of the tracks appear on their prevoius release in 1969 but the new additions to this album just verify that you´re in for the real deal. As the saying goes; Don´t mess with Texas, just fits right in. The producing could have been better but it doesn`t suffer that much. Raise the volume and it will be fixed.. 🙂

Whatabout the drummer?? Doug Tull is his name and I must say that the resemblance with Bill Ward of Black Sabbath is striking. Heavy impact, thunderous playing on the drums gives this album the edge it deserves. This is a must listen and here are some nice things to take with you on the way.

What a thrilling thought if the band had tuned down a notch and really went “all in” for some more heavy sound…but that´s what dreams are made for.. 🙂

A stunning piece of work gives me the pleasure to recommend you to buy this album, a really good testament of great American hard/Heavy rock at its best.
