ALBATROSS- ROCKIN´THE SKY-

Take aim at the sky as this outfit, originated from America, delivers on their sole album from 1975. The great mix of Hard/Blues/Southern rock puts these fellows in the same category as Black Oak Arkensas and Molly Hatchet.

Great Music craftmanship lift this poor produced album up several notches. The soundframe are a bit hollow and in some of the songs , the organ seems to disappear. But the vocals together with the guitars are amongs the better for this genre. Some standards in the blues department are a bit saggy but the overall impression is very nice. Good Job!! Great nostalgia… 🙂

Whatabout the drummer, Joe Cambell?? The “Jazz” feeling that will hit you is hard to get rid off. This fellow got some very good striking abilities but there are a bit of anxious behaviour when it comes to the drive. The hitratio and Dynamics are solid but nothing to bring back to the table. The impression is that the guitars are Calling the shots. Another producer would drastically change the album input from the drums…To bad…

If you got a thing for American Hard/Blues/souther rock Music this is your companion. Original copies are rare to find at a descent pricetag but there are good reissues on CD and it is Worth an investigation. This album got what it takes in the swinging department. Don´t forget to but a sixpack of brewsters… 🙂
