WABASH RESURRECTION-GET IT OFF!-

This trio originated from Pitfield Illinois relesed this selfpressed rarity in 1975. A Heavy touring outfit which made a name back in the day most on their hometurf. This Hard/Blues/Southern rock album does just got the smell of beer, BBQ and is full of that Southern stereoid we all love. The simple production suggest a low budget recording session but the songs got just as much power and drive to fill an oil tanker with attitude.

As you go along to search for the band on the internet there isn´t much to be revealed. The mystery that sorrounds the band just ads to the obscurity and that is good enough in my book. As there are no real top notch song no one falls off the wagon either. The influence by Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynard and perhaps a bit of Johnny Winter brings this album up several notches. The personal setting in the songs are just plain great. This is a true Hard/blues/Southern gem. Great effort!!

Whatabout the drummer, Doug Oakley?? Here we got a hard driven man with with great Dynamics and a superb touch to his playing.Great striking abilities with a personal “punsch” where the it suppose to be. This fellow got great technical skills and some pretty fancy hit ratio impressions. This is like a hand in glove fit with this outfit and there are some great things to bring back to the rehearsal room. An Impressive recording! Great job!

This lost recording is a must have for fans of Hard/Blues/Southern rock. It doesn´t get much better than this. Raw straight-shooting beerfuelled rock with furious drive and top notch songs. As this is low distribution album the prices are pretty high for an original pressing so we have to go for the CD reissue. Collectors may not fear the prices and if you do got the cash you should not doubt. This is a true gem with a great history behind it…none… 🙂
