Blonde on Blonde - 1971 - Reflections On A Life
Blonde on Blonde was a guitar-led psychedelic rock group from South Wales. The band was originally formed in Newport in 1967 by vocalist/guitarist Ralph Denyel, drummer Les Hicks, bassist/organist Richard Hopkins and guitarist/sitar player Gareth Johnson. The band was named after Bob Dylan's 1966 album of the same name. They disbanded in early 1972. Even though they enjoyed strong reviews from music critics and achieved massive exposure playing before gigantic crowds at the 1969 Isle of Wight festival (coincidently headlined by Dylan), they never managed to generate much in the way of sales. In 1968 the quartet left Wales for London. Playing clubs such as London's Middle Earth generated publicity for the band, and Pye Records eventually signed the band. Their final album Reflections On A Life was released by Ember Records in 1971. 01 - Gene Machine 02 - I Don't Care 03 - Love Song 04 - Bar Room Blues 05 - Sad Song For An Easy Lady 06 - Ain't It Sad Too 07 - The Bargain 08 - The Rut 09 - Happy Families 10 - No.2 Psychological Decontamination Unit 11 - Chorale LINK (RS) or LINK (FS)
