MORLY GREY-THE ONLY TRUTH-

This american outfit came together in the late ´60s and this, their sole album, was released in 1972. A sturdy mix of Heavy/Prog/psychadelic rock will surely set your turntable on fire! This is some very nasty stuff for those with their mind set on exploration and perhaps an open mind towards medicinal herbs. This is truly a contender for the Apollo program for that journey towards an unkown galaxy…Gentlemen, we have lift-off….. 🙂

The production is timetypical with a great vocal track and sweet, raw sounding guitar and that steady bass with a great driven rhythmsection at the back. The Roller Brothers fits the outfit like a glove and there are few low water marks on the album. Perhaps there is a bit of uncertainty in which way to approach the songs but never the less, you got great melodies on this album. Good work!!

Whatabout the drummer, Bob LaNave?? This fellow´s impression seems to been very much influenced by Mitch Mitchell.  A great drive and flamboyant style in drumming brings the technical skills at front row. The hit ratio and Dynamics are there but perhaps there is a bit to much “input” in some songs. Some restrain could be a friend but I do reckognize the youthful punsch in myself. The more the better… 🙂

So, if you´re into early ´70s Heavy/Prog/psychadelic rock with personal melody making, this album is right up your Alley. Due to low distribution there are not many original pressings left but there´s a silver lining up ahead. In 2009, reissues appeard with bonustracks added on both vinyl & CD, so there are no reason to worry. This album suites you best at a friendly gathering with both good food, beer and of course…Music. 🙂
