GLORY-ON THE AIR-

As this outfit, which originated from Michigan US, formed in the late 60´s. One thing is eminent at the very first listen. These fellow´s means business and there are plenty of good stuff on this”live” recording during the radioshow of the underground station of KPRI, released in 1970. The overall impression is a dark and menace album with great vocals and a terrific rhythm section. Hard/blues/funk elements are the straight forward ingredient and if this is the live performance level I´m a bit jelous of those who watch these frontrunners in action back in the day. Lucky bastard´s…… 🙂

I can´t tell who produced this forgotten gem, but there are not much to ask for. The guitars are great sounding with the splendid vocals by Mick Millsa. personal songs together with great cover versions just sets this album on fire. Never Before has the live impression been such a great pleasure to endure..and back in 1970 on top!! Way to go!! Terrific. 🙂

Whatabout the drummer, Jack Pinney?? Holy smoke!! This is a like finding a well of water when long lost in the desert.. This fellow just impresses with a faboulus drive and splendid striking abilities. The hit ratio is a bit withdrawn but still present and the technical skills are just impeccible. A true display of great drumming. Both thumbs up and a big smile..Great job!! 🙂

This is one of those albums that was never intended for the major public listener. Originals are impossible to find but there are rare reissues by Rockadelic records who share a faint light down the dark path of this obscure masterpiece. If you ever get a chance to buy this album don´t hesitate. It is a much better option to starve a month….:-)
