Bachman Turner Overdrive - Bachman Turner Overdrive II (1973 great canadian heavy rock - Wave)

Bachman Turner Overdrive was a muscular boogie band from canada, both musically and literally (frontmen Randy Bachman and Fred Turner could have played line for any number of football teams! )this album marked the band's commercial breakthrough with the monster hit "Takin' care of business" (still heard regularly on office depot commercials) and minor hits "Let it ride" and "Welcome home." the sound is hard rock from start to finish, but not as metallic as the next effort 'not fragile' would be. the boogie is still here (eg., "business" and "tramp"), as well as a glimpse of mr. Bachman's jazz chops (check out the end of "welcome home," an almost completely different song as the band gets into a brubeck groove), as was "Blue collar" from their first album. this album captures the live feel, not far removed from the bar room. no studio gimmicks, no subtlety, just power chords and hard rock joy!

Bachman Turner Overdrive - Bachman Turner Overdrive (1973 great canadian heavy rock - Wave)

The first was the best...
Some bands need time to get up to stride; others come up with their best stuff when they still toiled in relative obscurity. BTO fits in the latter. Their first album is easily their best, starting off right away with "Gimme Your Money Please", a tune sure to please with the heavy guitar riffs and snarling vocals of C F Turner. That's followed by "Hold Back the Water", which was the flip side of the single "Blue Collar", which is also great. You may remember "Blue Collar" as a bluesy tune; unfortunately the band never explored that side of their music much, because this track works. Other good tracks include "Stayed Awake All Night" and "Down and Out Man", a rare vocal by early member Tim Bachman. Commercial success probably led them to go down the safe and easy path with subsequent releases, although their fourth album "Four Wheel Drive" rebounds a bit before the band personnel changed and BTO plummeted. This album and "Four Wheel Drive" are the ones you want. If you're a fan, the other albums work, too. But this is their best one, hands down.(By Mark R. Van Wagenen)

Rich Hopkins & Barry "The Fish" Melton - Duel In The Desert - 2007 ("Fantastic" californian guitar based music)

This is a guitar album, and if you do not like loud electric rock music, this CD is not for you. Elder rock legend Barry "The Fish" Melton meets up with one of his biggest fans, Rich Hopkins. Rich, is the rock prince of Tucson, Arizona. Together these two musicians had a plan...turn back the clocks to 1969 and crank it out. 
  Barry, was one of those players that set San Francisco on fire during the mid 1960's, and along with John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service, he among the very finest guitarists that California had to brag about. English musicians such as: Clapton, Beck and Page, would watch him closely as a study of change that occurred in early 1967, that would forever alter the way that rock music would be performed.
  Over Thanksgiving weekend in 2005 Barry and Rich met up in Arizona, set up their vintage guitars and amps, found a bass guitar player and drummer, and set the clocks back to another time, forty years back near The Golden Gate. 
  Key tracks are: "Alabama Bound", "The Highway Is A Devil", "Thirty Days", "Pretty Polly" and right in the center of the disc, the insrumental track entitled: "Duel In The Desert" that is a classic guitar "Freak-Out" between Barry and Rich of massive distortion and waa-fuzz pedal wonder that really captures the spirit of times long past. This kind of rock music belongs to the young, or the young at heart. Both artists share vocal duties, and Barry has a few moments infront of the microphone on this CD, and he is a welcome surprise as the better vocalist of the two.
  This bluesy, raw rock is way out of place today, in this pop world of: "American Idol" and fans of Jessica's latest release. It is the music of small bars and roadhouses from Tallahassee to Tacoma. This is good rock music that is so much more akin to time way back and of decades past. 
The music here will only appeal to a limited audience, it is the sound of guys playing for the fun of playing.(By Philip S Wolf)

Morly Grey - The Only Truth - (1972- Great and Tremendous us psychedelic rock - reissue with 5 bonus tracks - Wave)

Morly Grey : this legendary American group with a proven track record only one album released in 1972. Why is 'legendary'? Bo has released the album themselves and disappeared. And the only reissue on CD was released after 35-five years in an equally small number of copies...The original vinyl Starshine label and have the number 69000.... costs over 1000 bucks, so it is worth while to hunt for a compact a reissued digitally remastered by Comet Records ..added 5 bonus tracks, hmm although it is quite difficult task..CD also quickly had disappeared!

Perhaps the best privately released Heavy psych album around. Amazing album.
Music? The heavy, psychedelic rock, guitar orgy and cool melodies. 8 tracks, 46 minutes of music....vinyl version
Music recorded in two different studios:
1971, Cleveland Recording Corporation, Cleveland, Ohio. Inzynieria: Ken Hamen.
1972, Peppermint Studios, Youngstown, Ohio. Inzynieria: Gary Rhamy.
and differing in quality, but from start to finish excellent. Guitar overthrow. Playing a very 'American', which is embedded in the blues,near progressive structures almost hard, that is a very psychedelic blues-rock-hard 
The Morly Grey can play loudly of course (phenomenal Our Time with frequent changes of tempo and speedy guitar solos and the album-opener, uncompromising Peace Officer). Sometimes, however, music is a little quieter and more melancholic (Who Can I Say You Are, ballad A Feeling For You). The go-aheads riffs (especially in You Came To Me), a variety of solos and cleverly used a wah-wah effects make the guitar player standing in the foreground on in the album. The album ends with a 17-minute suite The Only Truth. The song opens with heavy guitars, but little by little the music takes the listeners to the world of subtle psychedelia. From the guitar sounds landscape there discretely appears the song from the Civil War When Johnny Comes Marching Home.
When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
Let love and friendship on that day, Hurrah, Hurrah!
Really a great album. A feast for all who love old stuff and austere beginning of hard rock... Amazing album and real rocker (By Adamus67)

The Good Rats - Tasty (1974 us great mix of hard rock, jazz & blues - Wave)

"Tasty" is by far the greatest accomplishment by "America's Favorite Unknown Band": The Good Rats. I was first aquainted with the "Tasty" album at a young age when my father, who was a Good Rats fan in his youth, passed his taste in music down to me. I first became familiar with the popular title track, "Tasty", the upbeat lead-off track, "Back To My Music", and the eeire but lyrically ingenius and funny "300 Boys". Later on, I came to recognize the musical brilliance in "Klash Ka Bob", "Poppa Papa", "Phil Fliesh", the vocal magnificance in "Songwriter", "Injun Joe", and "Fireball Express", and the nostalgic ingenius in "Fred Upstairs and Ginger Snappers". And then it hit me. There is not a single song on this album that isn't worth listening to. Peppi Marchello posseses the rock and roll voice that most bands dream of having, John Gatto's guitar playing is flawless (check out "Klash Ka Bob" to hear Gatto at his best!), Lenny Kotke's fingers fly on the bass, Micky Marchello's guitar and vocal harmonies are always dead on, and Joe Franco's drumming is admirable. Essentially, The Good Rats are the model band for 70's rock. Why then did not make it big is beyond mystery to me. The "Tasty" album is a must-have for rock fans of all ages.(By The 5th Beatle)
