contemporary folk or progressive folk

LINK

This classic album has been released at least 4 times with different track listings. It was first released in 1972 in South Africa. It was then released in 1973 in Europe with a slightly different track list and credited to Jo'Burg Hawk. In 1998 an unofficial CD was released by the Never Never Land label in Japan with a different cover and track list. In January 2004 Retro Fresh released a CD of the European version with bonus tracks.

***

A Hawk egy johannesburgi öttagú progresszív folk együttes volt.

1971-ben első albumuk, az African Day – Dél-Afrika őrült politikájának finoman álcázott kommentárja volt – sikerén felbuzdulva, majd 1972-ben az iszonyatos Africa She Too Can Cry megjelenését követően Hawk már az ország imidzséve nőtte ki magát. 

Ez a klasszikus album legalább 4 alkalommal jelent meg különböző számlistákkal. Először 1972-ben jelent meg Dél-Afrikában. 1973-ban jelent meg Európában egy kicsit más számlistával, Jo'Burg Hawk nevéhez fűzve. 1998-ban Japánban a Never Never Land kiadó kiadott egy nem hivatalos CD-t, más borítóval és számlistával. 2004 januárjában a Retrofresh kiadott egy CD-t az európai verzióból, bónusz dalokkal.

A Hoodoo Rhythm Devils a 70-es évek elején meglovagolta a San Franciscóból kiáramló poszthippi hullámot. A blues boogie-t és a country-rock-ot egy csipetnyi funkival ötvözve nem egészen úgy szóltak mint bármelyik másik banda a 70-es évek elején. A mai napig aktív a zenekar...

***

☆ The Hoodoo Rhythm Devils were an American blues-rock-funk band from San Francisco, California, United States, formed in 1970. Modeled after the names of bands in the 1950s, Joe Crane and his Hoodoo Rhythm Devils signed with Capitol Records and made their first record Rack Jobber's Rule in 1971. The name was too big of a mouthful, so it was shortened to the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils...

☆ This is Arthur Brown's second album with Kingdom Come, a self-entitled album released in 1972. So you don't confuse it with any other band called Kingdom Come (such as the '80s band), look for the album cover that has a crescent and star, and this is the album you'll be looking for. Things have changed in the Kingdom Come lineup since the release of "Galactic Zoo Dossier". Bassist Desmond Fisher, and synthesizer player Julian Paul Brown are now out of the picture, leaving Brown, guitarist Andy Dalby, keyboardist Michael "Goodge" Harris, and drummer Martin "Slim" Steer to find a new bassist, in this case Phil Shutt...

A (St. Thomas) Pepper Smelter egy perui pszichedelikus rockegyüttes volt Limából. 1969-ben a Los Shain's tagjai alapították. Az együttes azonban, ellentétben a Los Shain-szel ebben a szakaszban, úgy döntött, hogy új hangzásokat hoznak zenéjükbe, mint például a pszichedeliát, anélkül, hogy elhagynák az előző bandától származó garázsrockot. Nevükre a Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band nevű album utal. Rövid fennállása után 1970-ben feloszlott.

☆ The (St. Thomas) Pepper Smelter was a Peruvian psychedelic rock band from Lima.
