PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC-GET IT ON-

This outfit originated from California USA and their story Begins in 1967. This, their first recording, was released in 1968. Perhaps viewed as one in a dozen blues albums by the time, this recording contains not just one of the late 60´s best guitarworks but also an astonishing vocal performance by  their drummer, who became the frontman and himself replaced as a drummer!

The infamous Glenn Schwarz on guitar, fast recognized a reputation as “The White Hendrix” and for sure this is a fellow who know his way´s around the fretboard. The bizarre future for Mr. Schwarz would contain both abuse and membership in a religous cult which almost cost him his Life. The Production for this album is very good to it´s Contemporary albums with a funky steady rhythm section wich lift this recording several notches. Very nice!!

Whatabout the drummer, Frank Cook?? As this is a guitar and vocals album the drummeraction follow suite. With a steady bassplayer by his side this is an avarage perfomance. The striking ability and Dynamics are fine but with a bit of anxious input in the slower songs. The Hitratio and drive are there but nomore than just an Another apple in the barrel. Nothing to cheer for.

If you´re in for some great American blues from the late 60´s this is a great record to compare to those best Selling albums from the same timeperiod. I don´t Think you will get dissapointed. Great issues is to be found out there for literally no Money at all. This is a great oppertunity to impress your friends with a forgotten guitarwizard in Glenn Schwarz. Enjoy with a beer and good Company. 🙂
