HEAD OVER HEELS-HEAD OVER HEELS-

As probably one of the more obscure bands coming out of the US I just want to give you an extra cool input for the one hundred post on vinylanddrums!! Congratulations. 🙂

This Michigan Power trio released their only album in 1971 and what an album!! A hard/prog/blues/psych rock record that keep all flavors happy with great interaction between guitar/vocalist Paul Frank and bass player/vocalist Michael Urso. The mood in the songs bend like a willow tree from farout psych/hard rock to emotional soft numbers in geniuin dynamic rollercoaster. Priceless!!

The album was produced by Dan Moore and Buzz Clifford and it got a bit of timeware to it but the soundframe is forward with good guitarsound and terrific vocals. The drums are a bit dry and muffled but fit the retrospective tone of the album. The impression is all or nothing with a tough guitarriff dragon lurkin behind the bend..super!!  🙂

Whatabout the drummer, John Bredeau?? This is a pleasure to hear a fast interaction man with excellent drive, hard striking abilities with  super technical skill. When you reach this fun driven statement upon an album like this you just have to surrender. Pure joy!! 🙂

Great cover of “Little red Rooster” brings a big smile to my face and as you spin this hallelujah moment on your turntable the wish is that you have played on this album. This is one of the main reasons for this blog, to keep alive the true unheard classics so they don´t  will be forgotten.

If you´re in to the American rough rock scene by the start of the 70´s this a must have Emerald. Hard/prog/blues/psych rock just captured in it´s true raw essence is a rare thing to find in today´s records. Fantastic!! Great reissues are out there for no Money at all so hurry up Before more people discover this hidden treasure…
