Sing Brother Sing - Edgar Broughton Band [1970]


Thrilling, chem lab experimental blues tinged rock. With Beefheartian yeowl Edgar sings insouciant and groovy. Letting it all hang out to the point of downright unpleasantness - viz. Psychopath. Cracked English tea party vibe in Kevin Ayers vein and well worth investigation.

There's some 'pretty' music on this album as well. I was at Weeley - greatest unknown music festival ever - when Edgar and band woke us up [or sent us scared to sleep, can't remember] with 'Out Demons Out'!

Julian Cope -above- communes directly with that time....
