POT LIQUOR-LEVEE BLUES-

Originated from Baton Rouge Louisiana US this outfit released their second album in 1972 and talkin´bout getting things from South by southwest. Their undeniable impact in the Southern/hard/calssic rock in America by this time it is just to sad that not more people recognize this band.

As the their single “Cheer” broke through the top 100 on the Billboard Heavy touring with greater act´s where  pushing the band in the right direction and with this masterpiece under their belt what could go wrong?? The production got some time wearness to it but the mix between the guitar and vocals are awesome and the rhythm section is as steady as the Rocky Mountains. With their peak in 1972-73 the dissolvment of the band began when their manager was killed in a car accident and as almost in every case, different path´s grow to implode the band.

Standout songs would be “Cheer”, “Chattanooga” and the great cover of “Little red rooster blues”. But all songs have presence and no one falls under the radar. A terrific album in that sense!! 🙂

Whatabout the drummer, Jerry Amoroso?? Due to mixing issues this fellow sounds much more careful than he really is. Great striking abilities and a good solid drive makes this drummer a gem in the genre. great vocal skills ads up to unerappreciated musician. Avarage hitratio but great Dynamics gives this fellow a grade above avarage. Splendid job!!

The name Potliquor originates from a down boiled stew of vegetables and meat. This is just the right description of what this band contains on this album. Raw Southern/Blues/Classic rock in it´s purest form and this might just fit your turntable on a BBQ afternoon with good friends and a bottle of wine… 🙂

Great copies are out there for no Money at all and this album does deserve the recognizion as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and so on…just plain great!!!
