BOOT-BOOT-

As this outfit from New Port Richey Florida US change their name to Boot, which stands for Blues Of Our Time they set a Hard/Southern/Blues rock a rollin!! This their first album was released in 1972 and is one of of those rediscovered gems from the time period and completely flew under the radar, in sales that is.

A great produced album with personal and handcrafted songs with a very high standard through the whole album. Great interaction between the guitar and vocals brings a familiar feeling to the whole recording. This sounds much more modern and Before time than back in the day. The Heavy touring for these fellows shines through and they shared stage with many great names such as Lynard Skynard, BB King and Canned Heat. greta respect in that sense. Delicious!!

Whatabout the drummer, Jim O´Brock?? This is a swinging blue jean kind of drummer with excellent backbeating skills and a preferd style in the striking abilities. A catchy hitratio and technical skills makes this drummer a pure pleasure to smooth your ears with his drumkit massage. The drive and personality is judt great and this fellow is just like beer to BBQ…an unbeatable combination.. Splendid work!! 🙂

Though the Commercial set in the tunes,  there are no doubt that this is a must have in the Hard/Southern/Blues rock genre. The great vocal input just brings the songs up several notches. Good original copies are out there but be prepared to pay up some handsome green one´s. There are also a CD reissue to aim for if you you want that summer garden hot´n smokin rock´n roll party album that no one ever Heard of. This is shaggadelic knowledge in some circles…. 🙂 This Boot will walk all over you!
