Drive It! was published in 1970 by Mainstream Records (the same Label that released other Gems like the second Josefus Album as well) and it should remain the only recorded Effort by this, without a Doubt, very interesting Band from the States.
Lincoln Street Exit has already been six years in Existence at the Point their first Album was released so what you get is a Band who already found their Sound and rocks it hard!
As stated on The Cover-Back Lincoln Street Exit's Music was "influenced greatly by the American Indian cultures of New Mexico" ...mainly because of the Fact that (as some Sources claim) all four Band Members were Native Americans. Frankly I can't hear too many of those Influences but what i hear is a raw and powerful Album with driving Fuzz-Guitars, strong Vocals and a surprisingly good Production ...in other Words: This Record contains enjoyable Music plus it sounds great!
My favourite Track remains Man Machine although it's a pleasure to listen to Songs like Dirty Mother Blues as well.
Put it on, lean back and Drive it!
This cover shows an angry lion messing with the traffic at the lincoln street exit. I don't know what he wants to show us. But I know that he has one of the worst hairstyles I have ever seen. I also know that the people who are stuck in this traffic jam are not amused.
AntwortenLöschenThis could also be a traffic jam at the lincoln street exit on the way to Tilburg and the indian chief in the car could be BartBowles who drives furiously towards the traffic jam with 160 miles per hour!
AntwortenLöschenThe owner of this blog informed me that the lion's hairstyle does not look like shit. I think he lacks of good taste.
