Lonesome Crow
-
I just received a few classic 70s gems from Amazon today. Priest's Stained Class and Scorpion's Lonesome Crow, their debut. I'd never heard Lonesome Crow before. I'm not sure how this great CD escaped my attention until today, but I'm damn happy to own it now. What a fantastic hard rocking, bluesy, jazzy, psychedelic trip it is! Young Mike Schenker plays some great guitar on here. Ausgezeichnet! :cool: The title track is plain bizarre and spaced-out, but great stuff. Looking at picking up the other early Scorpions Cds and a new Santana III reissue. Any other "lesser known" 70s albums I should know about?

-- Neil PeartI assume you already have Sabbath's Master of Reality and Volume IV. If you enjoy Deep Purple, you should grab Made in Europe if you can find it. It's the David Coverdale / Glen Hughes lineup and they do a lot of great live versions from Burn, etc. The Burn studio version is also one of my favorite Purple albums. And along those lines, the first Blackmore's Rainbow (with Ronnie James Dio) was fun. And of course, everything from Humble Pie. :-D By the way, saw Judas Priest opening for the Scorpions back in the day, and Priest blew the Scorpions off the stage (no easy task). One of the Priest guitarists did a solo with a Gibson Flying V and mid solo threw it literally 30 feet straight into the air with a note sustaining. He kneeled and it came back down and landed with the V over his thigh, and he finished the solo. Great performers.

Yeah, I have everything Sabbath through Heaven and Hell, but Humble Pie's a band I keep ignoring for some reason. On your suggestion I've added "Made in Europe", "Rainbow Rising" and "Smokin'" to the queue after some Foghat this morning. Gotta love Rhapsody! Man, I would've loved seeing Priest open for the Scorpions. Actually, I'd still love to see either one of them. The new Priest is really good.

-- Neil PeartHumble Pie is one of my favorite bands. They were heavy but at the same time heavily influenced by blues / gospel. You saw more of this after Frampton left. He was a wonderful soloist, but his songwriting tastes were more pop, as evidenced by his solo work. Smokin was the first album after Frampton left. Of the post Frampton stuff, Thunderbox was an uneven album but had two great cuts, "Thunderbox" and "I can't stand the rain." If you like the blues / gospel influence, Eat It has really great stuff with three gospel chick backup singers, a B3 humming away in a lot of the songs, etc. It's not as heavy as Smokin, but more bluesy (covers a Ray Charles, Ike & Tina Turner, etc.) It's a double album, two sides live, two sides studio. "Stone cold fever" is another good song, both the studio version and the live version off of the Filmore. Also check out "I don't need no doctor" which is best off the Filmore album. One of the strengths of Humble Pie was the bass player, Dave Ridley. He was different stylistically, but really ranked among such players as Entwhistle. If you listen carefully, you'll see that what drives many of the songs is the groove from the bass, which drummer Jerry Shirley locks in with nicely. And Foghat was great, too! :-D

Well, now that I've spent some time listening, Humble Pie is making their way onto my frequent rotation list. Great stuff! Sort of a mix of the heaviness of Zeppelin, pop of the Beatles and blues of the Stones, but without trying to emulate anyone at all. Thanks for the recommendation, Chris! :cool:
