The Smoke - Carry on Your Idea (1969 US Boogie Blues Psych)

ALTÍSSIMA RARIDADE!! ESTA BANDA FAZIA UM SOM QUE ERA DESCRITO COMO "PSYCHEDELIC BOOGIE"!! ESTE RITMO É NOTÓRIO JÁ NA PRIMEIRA FAIXA "MC BOOGIE" COM DURAÇÃO DE 19 MINUTOS!!

NAS DEMAIS FAIXAS O SOM JÁ DESACELERA UM POUCO E DESANDA UM POUCO MAIS PRA PSICODELIA PURA E EXPERIMENTAÇÕES!! VENENO RARÍSSIMO E QUE TE LEVA A UMA VIAJEM POR CAMINHOS ALTERNATIVOS!!

Originally known as The Nomads and based in Houston, Texas, this band issued two 45s under that name. They became known as Smoke in mid-1968. They later moved on to San Francisco where they gigged mainly at biker venues.

Led by John Orvis, who composed all their material, their music can best be described as "psychedelic boogie", epitomised by the nineteen minute M.C. Boogie on the first album and nine minute Greased Lightnin on the second. Loads of energy, jiving vocals, good guitar solos and powerful organ parts. The second album was produced by Jimmie Haskell, one of the best producers/arrangers operating in the California studios in the sixties. Beyer remained in California to play for Smith and Canned Heat and then in fellow Texan Gary Myrick's band. Phil Parker went on to play with the bluesman Shakey Jake Harris.

Thanks Luiz to post this excellent boogie-blues album with the best influences of Canned Heat.
Please could you re-post The Moving Sidewalks "Flash" album?
Bye,
Buckeye
