13 - "Featuring Lestler Butler" [1997 US Blues Rock]


EX-LÍDER DA BANDA RED DEVILS, LESTER BUTLER FORMOU ESSA BOA BANDA CHAMADA "13" E GRAVOU ESSE ÚNICO E ÓTIMO ALBUM EM 1997!! BUTLER
MORREU EM 9 DE MAIO DE 1998, AOS 38 ANOS, DE OVERDOSE DE UMA LETAL COMBINAÇÃO DE HEROÍNA E COCAÍNA!! A SONORIDADE É UM BLUES ROCK COM
MUITA HARMÔNICA E GUITARRAS ROLANDO SOLTAS!! ELE ACREDITAVA QUE A GAITA DE BÔCA ERA UM INSTRUMENTO NATURAL PARA O BLUES E POR ISSO ABUSAVA DOS SOLOS DE GAITA!! BEM BACANA BEM LEGAL MESMO!! É UM BOM VENENO PRA QUEM GOSTA DE BLUES ROCK!!
After the breakup of The Red Devils, Butler also fronted the band, 13, releasing one self-titled record on Hightone Records in 1997. The original members of 13 included Kid Ramos on guitar, James Intveld on bass, and Johnny Morgan on drums. The recorded release of 13 on Hightone Records and produced by Warren Croyle features Stephen Hodges and Johnny Morgan on drums, Tom Leavey and James Moore on bass, Andy Kaulkin on keyboards, Alex Schultz, Smokey Hormel, Paul Bryant, and Doug Hamlin on guitar. Butler achieved his greatest fame in Europe, especially the Netherlands, where the Lester Butler Tribute Band still performs.
That album is reissued here with a bonus of three live cuts from 1997. Lester Butler believed that the harmonica was the natural lead instrument in a blues band so every track has tons of forceful driving amplified harp reeling out vibrant, intelligent solos time after time. He had a great blues voice too; a distinctive holler that works on slow numbers like his own Pray For Me and hard boppers like Elmore's So Mean To Me. Guitar isn't neglected though, as Alex Shultz matches Butler's harmonica with some great playing,  especially on tracks like Smokestack Lightnin' and Close To You.
Butler died of an overdose of heroin and cocaine on May 9, 1998, in Los Angeles at the age of 38. Two of his friends were convicted in his death of involuntary manslaughter.

OFFENBACH - Soap Opera [1972 Canada Prog Rock Bluesy]

RARIDADE!! RARITY!!

ATENDENDO A PEDIDOS DE ENVENENADOS QUE NÃO ENCONTRARAM EM LUGAR ALGUM, ESTOU POSTANDO ESSE ALBUM RIPADO DE VINIL, QUE É O PRIMEIRO E MAIS RARO ALBUM DESSA BOA BANDA CANADENSE QUE ORIGINALMENTE SE CHAMAVA "LES GANTS BLANCS"!! INSPIRADA EM BANDAS DE BLUES ROCK BRITÂNICAS COMO "CREAM" E "DEEP PURPLE", O REPERTÓRIO INICIAL DOS CARAS ERA COMPOSTO POR BLUES ROCK E POP ROCK E MATERIAL ORIGINAL!! ESSE PRIMEIRO ALBUM INCLUI DUAS CANÇÕES EM INGLÊS E SEUS DOIS PRIMEIROS CLÁSSICOS "FAUT QUE ME J'ME POUSSE" E "CÂLINE DE BLUES" QUE VIRIAM A DEFINIR O SOM DA BANDA NA SEQUENCIA!! UM BOM E RARO ALBUM!! EXCLUSIVIDADE DO BLOG VENENOS DO ROCK!!
 
a monster progressive rock and blues-psych that defined the band's sound in the 70's.    This is the first of Offenbach's early "prog-blues-psych-era" recordings (along with "Tabarnac", "Saint-Chrone de Neant" and "Bulldozer").... Inspired by British blues-rock bands such as Cream and Deep Purple, Offenbach’s repertoire initially comprised pop songs of the day, as well as blues-rock and original material. Its first LP, Offenbach Soap Opera (1972) included two songs in English, as well as the early classics “Faut que j'me pousse” and “Câline de blues,” which would come to define the band’s sound. Its second album, Saint-Chrone de néant (1973), was recorded live on 30 November 1972 during the Mass for the Dead at Montréal‘s Saint Joseph's Oratory.
 
With original members Jean (Johnny) Gravel (guitars),  Gerry Boulet (piano, organ,vocals), Michel (Willie) Lamothe Jr (bass), Roger (Wezo) Belval (drums) and Pierre Harel (percussion, vocals).

JPT SCARE BAND - Acid Acetate Excursion [1974 US Hard Acid Blues Rare Session]


BANDA AMERICANA FORMADA EM 1970 EM KANSAS CITY POR TRÊS AMIGOS: O VOCALISTA E GUITARRISTA TERRY SWOPE, O BAIXISTA PAUL GRIGSBY E O BATERISTA JEFF LITTRELL!! OS CARAS ADORAVAM JAM POR HORAS E HORAS INSPIRADOS PELO HARD ROCK PSICODÉLICO DO CREAM, BLUE CHEER E JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE!! FOI ASSIM QUE GRAVARAM SUAS PRIMEIRAS CANÇÕES NO PORÃO DA CASA DE UM DELES, CUJO MATERIAL DEPOIS FOI COMPILADO ATRAVÉS DAS MASTER TAPES!!
 
AQUI VOCÊS ESCUTAM ISSO NUMA JAM QUE MOSTRA SEU HARD ROCK BLUES EMBEBIDO EM ACIDO E PSICODELIA!! A PRIMEIRA FAIXA DO ALBUM JÁ DIZ A QUE VEIO A BANDA, FAZENDO O QUE REALMENTE QUERIAM NUMA JAM DE 15 MINUTOS DE DURAÇÃO COM UM INÍCIO BLUESY QUE DEPOIS DESCAMBA NUMA SÉRIE DE SOLOS DE GUITARRAS LEGAIS!! PARA MIM É A MELHOR MÚSICA DO LP!! APESAR DE GRAVADO EM 1973 SOMENTE 20 ANOS DEPOIS O ALBUM FOI LANÇADO PELA MONSTER RECORDS!! VENENO RARO E RECOMENDADO!!!
 
Having been formed in the early 1970s, Kansas Citys JPT Scare Band are still going strong today and this double album reissue of their seminal first 2 albums  (recorded in the early 70s and out of print since the early 90s);  show just how they started with their acid soaked psychedelic brand of rock.
The origin of these songs is shrouded in mystery. Stories abound of the band playing extended sessions in front of an audience of like-minded people only for the results to go missing for decades. Other tales place the band in a basement for a few days, emerging with recordings that frankly scared their contemporaries so much that they didn’t see the light of day until the last decade of the 20th century.
 
The first four songs on this release were originally released in the early 1990s as Acid Acetate Excursions (almost 20 years after it was originally recorded), while the latter clutch of tunes were put out as Rape of the Titan’s Sirens. Parts of both albums have seen the light of day as compilations, but this is the first time that both have been presented as discrete albums on vinyl.

NEXT - Dusty Shoes (1971 Rare Canadian Hard Rock)


HIGHT RARITY!!
ALTÍSSIMA RARIDADE!!

NEXT ERA UMA BANDA CANADENSE  QUE GRAVOU SEU UNICO ALBUM EM 1971!!
Depois de alguns singles de sucesso no Canadá, garantiram um contrato com a Warner Brothers e, no final de 1971, sai o album "Dusty Shoes" que foi lançado com uma divulgação bem limitada e a distribuição muito pobre!! Com isso o álbum não fez sucesso e a banda acabou em 1973!! A sonoridade é um Hard Rock setentista com organ pesado e violões bem legal com algumas lembranças de Grand Funk Raillroad!! Os membros da banda NEXT mais tarde se bandearam pra outras bandas como The Guess Who, Arlequim e The Litter!! VENENO CANADENSE ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!! VENENASSO!!
 
Winnipeg's Next were an offshoot of regional heroes The Fifth. After a fairly successful run of singles in Canada, The Fifth split in 1970 with several members of the band defecting to other acts in the region. One such product of the split was Next. The band were quickly able to secure a contract with Warner Brothers and by late 1971, "Dusty Shoes" was released. With somewhat limited exposure and very poor distribution, the album sank without a trace and Next were history by the end of 1973. Members would later turn up in The Guess Who, Harlequin and The Litter.
 
"Dusty Shoes" is very much typical of the era from which it sprang. Overall, it's tastefully arranged organ/guitar driven pseudo hard rock that recalls Grand Funk Railroad quite a bit in places. With the soulfully gritty vocals of George Belanger, everything here has an edge which makes much of the material here sound harder than it actually is. That subtle dynamic is what carries most of this album and makes it a truly satisfying listen. Check out this obscure offering from Next, contributed by Orchman. Dig it...

AUNT MARY - Aunt Mary [1970 Norway Hard Prog Rock)


VENENASSO MUITO LEGAL E QUE ESTOU POSTANDO PARA REPARAR UM ERRO HISTÓRICO DO BLOG AO NÃO TER AINDA POSTADO ESSE VENENO!! VENENO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!!
 
Uma das primeiras (e considerada por muitos "a melhor") banda de rock progressivo da Noruega. Sua música é uma mistura de um pesado hard-rock combinado com claras influências de prog-sinfônico, que não apareceu até o seu terceiro e último álbum de estúdio "Janus" lançado em 1973. Esse primeiro album da banda mostra a essência crua dos músicos em seus improvisos. A banda assinou um contrato com a Polydor na "Dinamarca" para se lançar no mercado em 1970 e moveu-se gradualmente para o rock progressivo depois do segundo álbum. O grupo foi extinto em 1973, mas se reuniu para vários concertos após 1978 e sua última apresentação foi em 2006.
 
O álbum auto intitulado Aunt Mary(Polydor/1970)pode ser considerado como um dos primeiros (e possivelmente o melhor produto do rock progressivo da Noruega). Onze faixas apresentam uma mescla interessante de psicodelia,blues e jazz com algumas tendências progressivas,cada faixa tem melodias memoráveis,com curtos mas doces solos para os ouvídos. Os teclados trabalham bem legal e essa formula de rock progressivo oreintado por teclados mais tarde seria usado também por alguns dos melhores grupos noruegueses.
-----------------------
I'M POSTING TO REPAIR AN ERROR HISTORY BLOG TO STILL HAVE POSTED THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM!! POST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
 
One of the early and by many considered to be one of Norways definitely best prog bands. Their music is a mix of heavy hard-rocking tunes, combined with clear influences from the symphonic genre. The more symphonic sound however didn't appeared until their third, and last studio album, "Janus". A great concept-album to start with. If you want the more thundering sounds coming from AUNT MARY, look for 1972s "Loaded". High-skilled musicians combined with good, creative melodies makes AUNT MARY a important Norwegian band to become acquainted with.
 
Norwegian Prog Rock band from the seventies. Signed a contract with Polydor in Denmark to release ‘Aunt Mary’ in 1970. Gradually moved towards Progressive Rock with the records ‘Loaded’ in 1972 og ‘Janus’ in ‘73.
 
Self-titled" album from the norvegian band Aunt Mary may be considered as one of the first (and, possibly, the best) progressive rock product from this country. Eleven tracks present an interesting mixture of psychedelic, blues and jazz with some prog tendencies.

Fantastic record! Wailin' guitar driven psych hard rock, with a couple of lighter tracks added to the mix, but overall highly consistently extraordinary.

STEEL RIVER - Weighin' Heavy (1970 Canadian Hard Rock)


APÓS 4 ANOS DE SHOWS AMADORES NOS ARREDORES DE TORONTO, STEEL RIVER COMEÇOU A TOCAR PROFISSIONALMENTE EM 1969 ASSINANDO COM A GRAVADORA "TUESDAY RECORDS" E JÁ NO ANO SEGUINTE GRAVOU ESSE SEU ALBUM DE ESTRÉIA!! GRAVOU MAIS UM ALBUM EM 1971!! A SONORIDADE É HARD ROCK COM ALGUMAS PITADAS PSYCH COM DESTAQUE PARA O ÓTIMO ORGAN HAMMOND QUE PASSEIA LEGAL!! NÃO É UM HARD PESADÃO E SIM COM UMA ORIENTAÇÃO MAIS COMERCIAL, MAS ISSO NÃO TIRA NEM UM POUCO A QUALIDADE SONORA DA BANDA, POIS AS MELHORES FAIXAS SÃO DE QUALIDADE!! É UM BOM VENENO QUE MERECE UMA AUDIÇÃO!!
 
After four years of amateur gigs and high-school dates around Toronto, Steel River began playing professionally in 1969 and signed with Tuesday Records the following year. From their 1970 debut album Weighin' Heavy, "Ten Pound Note" became a hit in Canada. Steel River broke up three years after 1971's A Better Road, but re-formed in 1980 to record the single "Armoured Car.
Straight ahead Canadian Rock album, with some Hard Rock and Psych moves and organ work, nothing special but still far better than their second album. Somewhat inconsistent, but the better tracks are surprisingly good.

Repost: DAY BLINDNESS - Day Blindness (1969 US Psychedelic Rock Bluesy)


OBSCURA E CLÁSSICA PEÇA DE COLECIONADOR ESTE ALBUM DO TRIO DE SAN FRANCISCO DAY BLINDNESS ERA BASICAMENTE UM SOM PSICODÉLICO COM PITADAS BLUES E INFLUÊNCIAS DAS BANDAS "THE DOORS" E "IRON BUTTERFLY"!! OS CARAS FAZIAM UM TRABALHO COMPETENTE DE ORGAN E GUITARRAS E ALGUMAS IMPROVISAÇÕES QUE SÃO CARACTERÍSTICOS DA BANDA, COMO É O CASO DA ULTIMA FAIXA "HOLY LAND" UMA OBRA QUE LEMBRA MUITO "WHEN THE MUSIC IS OVER" DA BANDA THE DOORS!! É O ÚNICO DISCO DOS CARAS!! VENENO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO E RARÍSSIMO!!

This very obscure & classic album created by the San Francisco psychedelic band Day Blindness in 1969 features driving guitars & crunching organ. Long jams sum up their music, which shows influences of both Iron Butterfly & The Doors.

FUSION ORCHESTRA - Skeleton In Armour (1973 UK Progressive Rock)


BOM DISCO COM COMPOSIÇÕES SOFISTICADAS, VOCAIS FEMININOS FORTES, BOM SOLOS DE GUITARRA, PERCUSÃO PODEROSA, PIANO ELÉTRICO, HAMMOND, FLAUTA E GAITA DÃO O TOM DA SONORIDADE DOS CARAS!! É PROGRESSIVO COM TOQUES DO JAZZ, LONGAS SUÍTES E VARIAÇÕES MUSICAIS!! É FUSION COMO O PRÓPRIO NOME SUGERE!!
 
Tapestry of Delights:
A short-lived progressive/hard-rock outfit. The album is now quite sought-after. Except When My Momma's Not At Home, which is essentially a mainstream rock 'n' rollin' piece with a brass arrangement, the remaining tracks, Sonata In Z, Have I Left The Gas On?, A Skeleton In Armour and Talk To The Man In The Sky are superb, especially the first two. Sophisticated compositions with astonishing and strong female vocals, superb manic guitar leads, powerful drumming, electric piano, flute and harmonica solos make this recommended listening. (CA).

Request: FEVER TREE - Fever Tree & Another Time, Another Place (1968-69 US West Coast Psych Garage Rock)


BOA BANDA AMERICANA QUE FAZIA UM SOM TÍPICO DAS BANDAS PSICODÉLICAS DE SAN FRANCISCO COM ALGUMAS EXPERIMENTAÇÕES E BOAS GUITARRAS DISTORCIDAS!! AQUI TEMOS OS DOIS PRIMEIROS ALBUNS DOS CARAS NUM DISCO SÓ!! VENENO RECOMENDADO!!
 
Fever Tree (1968) - Their debut album was a strong psychedelic affair, and included their legendary San Francisco girls along with a smorgasbord of similar gems.  Starting with Bach's Toccata in fugue and minor, this album is a feast of psychedelic experimentation, with strong songs, and strangely seductive distorted guitars. 

Another time, another place (1968) - Continuing in the same vein as the first album, this is a similar sounding record, although the musicianship had gotten better.  For me the best moment is the almost Iron Butterfly-ish reworking of "Man who paints the pictures".  A very strong follow up, it's a mistery why this album didn't chart higher than it did (no. 83).
 
Although mostly known for their 1968 anthem of psychedelia "San Francisco girls (return of the native)", Fever Tree recorded some of the most interesting psychedelic rock albums of the late 60's.  Formed in Houston, Texas from the ashes of the band Bostwick Vine by Dennis Keller (vocals), Rob Landes (keyboards, flute and more), E.E.Wolfe lll (bass), Michael Knust (guitar) and John Tuttle (drums.  After releasing two unremarkable singles in 1967 that both flopped, they enlisted producers/songwriters Scott and Vivian Holtzman.  With them they recorded their legendary debut album, which included the near-hit (no.91) single San Francisco girls.  Their unique brand of psychedelic rock filled with classical experiments was recieved well, and two similar albums followed in 1968 and 1970.  Major sucess still eluding them, most of the bandmembers threw in the towel.  In 1970  they recorded a fourth and last album, For sale.  Largely played by session men (inc. Kevin Kelley ex-Byrds) the abum was a disappointing and predictable mainstream pop album, and a commercial disaster.  The band officially called it quits after that, later to be reformed for a short while by Michael Knust backed by a brand new line-up. 

Their first three albums are still considered by many sixties fanatics some of the best and most overloked of that genre, managing to combine the psychedelic sound of the San Francisco bands like Jefferson Airplane with symphonic experiments and hard rockin guitars .
 
History
The band hailed from Houston, Texas and started in 1966 as folk rock outfit, The Bostwick Vines. They changed their name to Fever Tree a year later after the addition of keyboard player Rob Landes.
Their fifteen minutes of fame arrived when their song "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)" reached #91 in the U.S. charts, sometime in late 1968. Like most of the band's material, it was written by the couple of Scott and Vivian Holtzman, who also were their producers. This four-minute track captured all the band's trademarks: Dennis Keller's incantation-like vocals, the quick shifting between slow parts with an almost sacral feeling and faster, more rock-oriented parts, and especially the searing guitar work by Michael Knust.
 
Fever Tree also released their self-titled debut album, Fever Tree, in 1968, which charted at #156. A second album, Another Time, Another Place, followed in 1969. Apart from "San Francisco Girls", they never had another hit, although they later also tried writing songs themselves when they had dropped the Holtzmans as producers. The group disbanded in 1970, but reformed in 1978 with only guitarist Michael Knust remaining from the original line-up. The new formation of the group had little commercial success; Fever Tree was not heard of again until 2003 when Michael Knust passed away.

GREAT JONES - All Bowed Down (US 1970 Hard Blues Funk Rock)


BOA BANDA AMERICANA QUE FAZIA UM SOM QUE LEMBRA UM POUCO "FRIJID PINK" E QUE GRAVOU APENAS ESSE ALBUM!! A COMBINAÇÃO SONORA É UM POUCO ESTRANHA E NÃO PODERIA SER DIFERENTE, POIS REUNE UM GUITARRISTA QUE ERA AMANTE DO JAZZ, UM BATERISTA QUE ADOARAVA BLUES E UM BAIXISTA E VOCALISTA COM AFINIDADE NO FOLK ROCK!! O RESULTADO FINAL DISSO TUDO É UM ALBUM DE HARD, FUNK, BLUES E OUTROS ESTILOS ENRUSTIDOS!! A FAIXA "UNITED STATE OF MIND" E "IDAHO POTATOES", PRA MIM, SÃO OS GRANDES DESTAQUES DO DISCO!! VENENO RARÍSSIMO E RECOMENDADO!!
 
Soulful Hard Blues Rock something reminds me of the band Frijid Pink  "United State Of Mind" and "Idaho Potatoes" are the highlight of the album!! With only one highly collectible 1970 album to their credit, Great Jones, as the liner notes to their LP declared, was an odd combination. This hard driving rock and blues trio featured Billy Cadieux, a fiery jazz-loving guitar player, ex-folky bassist and gutsy lead vocalist, David Tolmie and blues-breaking drummer, Gary Kollarus. This Brooklyn based band became part of the scene revolving around legendary R&B producer, Jerry Ragavoy's Hit Factory Studios in New York City, which is where they met up with keyboardist and songwriter, Jeff Gutcheon. Then an apprentice at the Hit Factory, Gutcheon had worked extensively with Geoff and Maria Muldaur and not only contributed piano and organ tracks to Great Jones' album sessions, but also penned the title song, "All
Bowed Down."
 
"The sleevenotes to this album tell us: 'Great Jones is an odd combination; a jazz-loving guitarist; a blues-freaking drummer; and an ex-folk singing bassist.' Well, the end result is a funk/blues album with at least three decent tracks. The first is opener Cripple Creek, with its bouncy bass notes and sharply accentuating drum beats. Superimposed on this are Cadieux's catchy acoustic guitar riffs. The second is the title cut, a funky piano-driven number. Also of note is I Ain't Got Long, on which Cadieux contributes some delicate blues guitar which blends well with Tolmie's gutsy vocals. An average album, overall, though."
