LEAF HOUND (AKARMA, AK 256) UK 1971




Well...here we have it...i don't even know what to say about that beast - i actually refuse to write more than one line!

This is perhaps THE most underrated Hardrock/Hard-Blues Album in Existance - A holy Grail and something you can never get as Original DECCA first-press unless you are willing to trade your car for it or sell some of your internal organs.
Peter French on Vocals (he later went to join Cactus, Atomic Rooster and Randy Pie)with his best performance EVER!
Some songs are just incredibly heavy: check out Freelance Fiend !

As even the best things are not always flawless i have to admit that (to put it nicely) Mick Halls guitar skills were surely on a level which made further improvement possible...specially the guitar solo in Sad Road To The Sea sounds like played in a slightly disoriented state of mind. in a way it reminds me of slow-motion playing on a detuned guitar while desperately trying to stay focused on whats happening on the fretboard ;)


Anyway....that was actually a little more than one line but this is the real deal and beside that...what can a man do?.....i'm just in love with that record :)
