Album:
Two Sided Fantasy (Capitol ST 11006) 1972
CD: Akarma AK238
Thought to have been a New York bunch, they don't appear to have released any
45s for Capitol, but their album is an undiscovered gem. Kicking off with ‘Do
What I Want’ which featured slick rhythms and fine guitar, a high standard
is set and equalled by ‘Creepy Feeling’ and the Johnny Winter-influenced
‘Everybody Knowns (Slippin)’, with its gruff vocals and fine guitar
interplay. ‘Dream Novel’ rounds off side one with some simply exquisite
guitar work. Perhaps the album's finest moment is ‘Happy’, the closing
track, which builds into an amazing climax. Recommended.
