 ZZ Top is an American blues rock band, formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. Comprising Billy Gibbons (lead vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums and percussion), ZZ Top was ranked number 44 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock." The trio's original lineup has been intact for over 40 years; their longevity has placed them second only to the Four Tops, whose original band members remained intact from 1953 until the death of Lawrence Payton in 1997. ZZ Top retained the services of the same manager, Bill Ham, until September, 2006. Rio Grande Mud is the second album by ZZ Top, released in 1972.01 - Francine02 - Just Got Paid03 - Mushmouth Shoutin'04 - Ko Ko Blue05 - Chevrolet06 - Apologies To Pearly07 - Bar-B-Q08 - Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell09 - Whiskey'n Mama10 - Down BrownieLINK |
 Growing Concern, was formed by Bonnie MacDonald and Mary Garstki, vocals, Dan Passaglia, organ, John Pedley, bass and Ralph Toms, guitar. Although little is known of Growing Concern, their only album (Mainstream, 1968) is an enjoyable piece of West Coast psychedelic pop. The opening track 'Hard, Hard Year' sets the tone for the album: it opens with melodic guitar work, which is joined first by bass, then by excellent keyboards; it also features beautiful female vocal harmonies from group members Bonnie MacDonald and Mary Garstki. 'Edge Of Time' features excellent lead guitar work, as does 'Tomorrow Has Been Cancelled'; 'A Boy I Once Knew Well' is a folky lament, which again features fine vocal harmonies, keyboards, and guitar work. Overall, quite a good blend of folk rock, pop, and psychedelia. The album is brilliantly recorded, and is of a consistently high musical quality. The band surely deserved a better fate than the obscurity to which they were consigned by the bizarre business practices of the Mainstream label.01 - Hard Hard Year02 - Edge Of Time03 - Tomorrow Has Been Cancelled04 - A Boy I Once Knew Well05 - All I Really Want06 - Mister You're A Better Man Than I07 - What Kind Of Life08 - Other Side Of Life09 - I Knew A Girl10 - Sit Down I Think I Love YouLINK |
 Originally recorded in 1969, and released only in Germany, "Come With Me", is a minor masterpiece of British psychedelic pop/rock. Great, psychedelic rock tunes are embellished with phased vocals, treated piano, samples of radio broadcasts, washes of organ, and electronic effects. Songs like "You Thought You Had It Made" and "Rust" revel in blues licks, and rock with a genuine joy, even if the subject matter of their lyrics is somewhat pessimistic, and softer tunes like "Please Return" and the gorgeous "Find a Hideaway" are full of acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies.(AA)01 - Come With Me02 - You Thought You Had It Made03 - Please Return04 - Should I05 - Think Big06 - Rust07 - Delusion08 - Find A Hideaway09 - Come With MeLINK |
 The Electric Prunes are an American rock band who first achieved international attention as an experimental psychedelic group in the late 1960s.

Underground from 1967 is their second album.01 - Great Banana Hoax02 - Children Of Rain03 - Wind-Up Toys04 - Antique Doll05 - It's Not Fair06 - I Happen To Love You07 - Dr. Do-Good08 - I09 - Hideaway10 - Big City11 - Captain Glory12 - Long Day's Flight13 - Everybody Knows You're Not In Love 14 - You Never Had It Better LINK |
Love was an American rock group of the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were led by singer, songwriter and guitarist Arthur Lee and the group's second songwriter, guitarist Bryan MacLean. One of the first racially diverse American pop bands, their music reflected different influences, combining elements of rock and roll, garage rock, folk and psychedelia. Their musical reputation largely rests on two albums issued in 1967, Da Capo and Forever Changes. This is a 1970 live performance in London.01 - Good Times02 - August03 - My Little Red Book04 - Nothing05 - Orange Skies06 - Andmore Again07 - Gather Round08 - Bummer In The Summer09 - Singing Cowboy10 - Signed D.C.11 - Love Is More Than Words Or BetterLINK |
 This obscure bluesy-hard rock trio from 1970, Larry Gould / vocals, bass, Michael Kaplan / guitar, vocals and Pug Baker / drums, sounds like a rockier version of "Three Dog Night” with lots of "Creedence Clearwater Revival” and "Big Brother And The Holding Company” thrown in. Chariot, which evolved out of a ‘60s outfit called The Knack, are often described as a Cream-influenced blues/psych trio, although to many ears their sound exhibits more than a hint of a classic flower power groove, with some decidedly progressive touches.01 - Yolanda Jones02 - You Let Me Love You03 - Gamblin' Man04 - The War Is Over05 - Home Wreckin' Mama06 - Hey People07 - Variety Woman08 - Got To Be A Lover09 - Poor Man BluesLINK |
