Prog Rock with a touch of  Boogie Rock

LINK

Multi-instrumentalist Mike Lewis, a Canadian by birth, began his musical career in the Toronto-based band "The Big Town Boys". In 1964, he left the band and went to study in Munich. In the early 1970s,  he actively participated in the German music scene. In 1973, Mike released album, this time under the rather odd name Moosknukkl Groovband, where he and his band play a much more down-to-earth and quite enjoyable experimental guitar-and-keyboard prog with a touch of blues-rock and boogie rock. His former bandmates from The Big Town Boys were brought in to record the album. Released on the Spiegelei label, the album was limited to 3,000 copies. Unfortunately, after the release of this album, he and his bandmates disappeared from the musical spotlight.
