What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

TEN YEARS AFTER "cricklewood green" cd,1970

picked this one up the other week at Corey's,never heard of them but Dani had...and likes 'em, i guess i do now and am going to explore their back caqtalogue further given the time and money to do so, probably my favourite 'new-old' band since Jerome pushed me to the Jethro Tull side of life!!!!
fourth album by these London,UK blues rock outift....
not a real fan of blues or blues rock, but this is very,very good IMO, bits of folk,blues and i guess what you'd call 'early' prog rock happening here....
very Keith Moon type drumming also happening here....
has a bit of a Paul Weller feel from his 'wildwood' album on my favourite track and Small Faces/Humblepie feel on "warm sun"...
shame i couldnt find any decent live clips for this one which is a shame as im sure these guys would have been great live back in the day...
two bonus tracks(9+10) from the original sessions also which werent included on the original release, but still good nonetheless...
oh yeh, as a footnote, the album got its title from the suburb in London where they lived(cricklewood) and the 'green' part comes from the owner of the property who supplied the guys with a certain green tobacco to smoke...LOL, true!!!!
