Blues Image - 1969 - Blues Image
Blues Image was a critically acclaimed late 1960s rock band. Their most successful song was "Ride Captain Ride" in the last half of 1970, which went all the way to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #4 on the Canadian RPM magazine charts. Blues Image was a well respected band among their peers. In an interview conducted by British magazine Melody Maker, Jimi Hendrix said that Blues Image was "one of the best up and coming bands around". Shortly before Hendrix's demise, Hendrix and Manny Bertematti were seen jamming at the popular underground club, 'The Experience' on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip. Blues Image was formed in Tampa, Florida in 1966 by singer-guitarist Mike Pinera, singer-drummer Manuel "Manny" Bertematti, singer-percussionist Joe Lala, keyboardist Emilio Garcia, and bassist Malcolm Jones. 01 - Take Me To The Sunrise 02 - Leaving My Troubles Behind 03 - Outside Was Night 04 - In Front Behind You 05 - Lay Your Sweet Love On Me 06 - Do You Have Somethin' To Say 07 - Lazy Day Blues 08 - Yesterday Could Be Today 09 - Reality Does Not Inspire LINK
