TRUK-TRUK TRACKS-

This Oklahoma outfit released their sole album in 1970. Putting in high energy with a swirling organ on a blues based bottom this is a stand out. As band came dime a dozen in the early 70´s with this Blues/psych/hard rock approach, this album´s production sets it apart from the rest. A gritty guitarsound together with a thunderous soundframe of the rhythm section brings the strong songs justice.

As the vocals are shared on this album you will get a kaledioscope different input on the intruments and this add´s to the terrific final result of this album. Standout songs would be”Country Woman”, “got to find a reason” and the cover of “Yellow cab man” by Gun. There are some cheesy moments on this album that will probably disturb you.

Whatabout the drummer, Danny Cornett and Bill Dafer? As this is a shared task you Always get the pleasure to compare style´s.. 🙂  The band´s drive doesn´t rely on the beat of these drummers and that is a shame, This album would benefit from better strijking abilities and some more personality, Nothing wrong on the hitratio and Dynamics but there´s a lack of drive, input and “balls”.

If you´re into early 70´s Blues/Psych/hard rock with aBritish Foundation this is very good record. The only grit in the machinery is a bit of consistancy in the songs but it is almost saved by the faboulus production,

Great copies are available both in original and remastered versions and this is an albumto go for when you Think you Heard them all. Don´t forget to play LOUD. It will tickle your belly in a great way!! 🙂
