Ache - 1971 Green Man
| |
Denmark has never been known as a hotbed of progressive rock, but there were quite a few bands in the early days that are worthy of attention, including the subject of this review - Ache, considered to be the Danes answer to Procol Harum.
|
Aubrey Small - 1971 Aubrey Small
| |
Aubrey Small was another extremely talented group in the long list of British progressive rock artists that appeared on the scene with much hope and promise and quickly disappeared without a trace.
|
Black Oak Arkansas - 1971 Black Oak Arkansas
| |
Although BOA are an acquired taste and not my thing really, I've kept this album over the years for the sheer weirdness of it all that from my experience goes better with a bottle of 'Jack' or at least that's what I remember..
|
Blunstone, Colin - 1971 One Year
|
|
'One Year' is a gorgeous record and a perfect example why Blunstone is considered one of the best and most original vocalists in rock.
|
Dionysos - 1971 Le Grand Jeu
 | | Canada's Dionysos are a minor legend in prog rock circles in their home province of Quebec. 'Le Grand Jeu' (The Big Game) saw the light of day in 1971. Suffice to say this album is compared to Uriah Heep a lot, mainly due to the use of Hammond. |
Doobie Bros - 1971 The Doobie Brothers
 | | Here's the debut Doobie Bros album up for review, a rare listen - considering most people thought their career started with 'Toulouse Street'.. |
Dust - 1971 Dust
| |
Featuring one of the most macabre looking record covers ever, American legends Dust were at the forefront of true American heavy rock with this scorcher of an LP way back in the dim dark days of 1971.
|
Jake Jones - 1971 Different Roads
 | | A crying shame Jake Jones isn't better known among progressive rock fans. Think Styx and Sugarloaf with a sprinkling of Procol Harum and while there's a general lack of power on 'Different Roads', Jake Jones offer up a delectable sophomore album that AOR fans can definitely find solace with. |
Lazarus - 1971 Lazarus
 | | Lazarus are from that Woodstock era of the late 60's and early 70's. This is gentle lilting folksy styled rock with a hint of Christian overtones in the vein of Crosby Stills & Nash and early Poco and America |
Noah - 1971 Peaceman's Farm
 | | This is killer-no filler rock spiced with southern flavorings and from the opening title track you just know this is going to be something special. |
Ol' Paint - 1971 Ol' Paint
| |
Early signs of the American led power-pop scene can be heard as far back as 1971, with the New York based outfit Ol' Paint. Comparisons to both Big Star and The Beatles have been made in other reviews and I have to agree.
|
Radice, Mark - 1971 Mark Radice
| |
Unbelievable but true, Mark Radice was just 7 years old when he signed with RCA Records releasing several singles and just 13 when he recorded this album for Paramount.
|
Ratchell - 1971 Ratchell
| |
From that hotbed of rock n' roll Huntsville, Alabama let me introduce you to Ratchell. Never heard of them eh? Oh, I think you have. Any self respecting AOR fan that owns the two Couchois albums will recognize three names in this group's line-up.
|
Silberbart - 1971 4 Times Sound Razing
| |
Fans of early 70's German prog rock will probably be well aware of this underground classic, which at four tracks runs well over forty minutes. This was the only vinyl statement heard from this trio, but it left an impact as almost 40 years later prog rock buffs are still enthusing over the warped and tortured acid rock captured so brilliantly.
|
Stark Naked - 1971 Stark Naked
| |
Good major label progressive rock from Long Island, New York; the uber talented Stark Naked had a one-time shot at the big leagues only to have the rug pulled out from underneath them.
|
Still Life - 1971 Still Life
| |
Musically Still Life was very similar to other so called 'proto prog' bands of the day such as Gracious, Spring, Indian Summer and Cressida. In other words heavy on the vocals, shorter songs and less on musical virtuosity than Yes or Genesis.
|
Sweet, The - 1971 Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be
| |
As a fan and student of all things bubblegum, it's hard for me to find fault with this record. The songs are as sticky as ice cream fingers on a summer day..
|
T Rex - 1971 Electric Warrior
 | | This band, along with Sweet, shaped my musical tastes for the next four decades. How does one review such an iconic album that has been reviewed many times over? |
Tin House - 1971 Tin House
 | | This 1971 debut from Floridians Tin House s considered a closet-classic in that early progressive/blues sub-genre come power-trio sound. |
Wackers, The - 1971 Wackering Heights
| |
The Wackers intent was to emulate The Beatles and steer clear of the prog rock trends, they succeeded with this their debut.
|
Westfauster - 1971 In A Kings Dream
| |
Cincinatti was the home to one of the first Ameriprog classics.. Westfauster..
