CARSON-BLOWN-

As rare as it might seems the Australian blues scene Always kept a good sense of interesting recordings for you to listen to. This release from 1972 is a true milestone in early 70´s blues albums and the influence from Canned heat, with a better structure ovarall, is eminent and just plain great. Broderick Smith who is in charge of harmonica and vocals just light up this recording with impressive perfomance.  The Songs are really strong with a seasoning of funk/soulmix that is very hard to persist. Toetappers are everywhere and the feeling that you´re listening to an American brassfueled bluesband is just awesome.

The producing by Rod Coe has no what so ever wear of time so, a big chunk of thank you on his great achievment on this asskicker of an album. All musicians are on the edge and brings out the best of eachother and you can actually hear that this is for real..Splendid!!

Whatabout the drummer, Tony Lunt?? This fellow got what it takes. Superb timing and his drive and Dynamics leaves no one untouched. The striking is perfect and his technical abilities are up with the best in this genre. Solid as a ROCK!! 🙂

If you´re a blues/prog/funk/soul freak this is a piece you just got to get. I have a great deal of American blues records but this is a fresh reminder not to underestimate the Power from down under. Marvelous!!
