The third album from this band from USA.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin, viola, dulcimer, electronics and vocals.
The band returned again with two albums after a two years long album break. Three (3) is the first of the 1972 albums. The second album from that year will be reviewed in this blog next month.
This three quarters of an hour long album starts out with their version of the Neil Young classic Down By The River. This is a song countless other artists has covered...and failed to do. The version on this album is a country rock version of that song and it is a decent enough attempt on this great song.
Country rock... I had almost forgotten this genre. This is the genre we now find this band on this album. The music is too heavy for the folk rock genre although there is still some good folk rock here. The final half of this album is country rock, through and through.
The music is vocals dominated through most of this album. There is a long guitar solo and an instrumental at the end of the album. The vocals are good. The music is decent enough.
This is still an album well worth checking out if folk rock, americana and country rock is your thing.
