The Complete Savage Grace 2 reviews
Savage Grace
33 1/3, 2005
Classic obscure hard rock- glad I got it cheaper than this.
+ Finally...
This is another example of a great band that never made it big. So many wonderful bands got lost on major labels that didn't seem to know how to promote them. Savage Grace wasn't strictly a hard rock band, but had more melodic tendencies which required attentive listening. The first album in ...

Third Power
Akarma Italy, 2005
Detroit Progessive Rock Era-The Third Power
The Third Power was Detroit's answer to Cream back in the late 60's to early 70's and in fact did a rendition of "I'm So Glad" that rivaled anything Cream did. Third Power was intense sonic output, a power trio that used high output vacuum tube Traynor amps and pretty much did entirely original ...

Black Merda

Reality Will Cause Your Fantasies to Die
+ before funkadelic and after hendrix
+ Superb Rock Music
Here's the ultimate "whatever happened to..." cult act for fans of the super heavy funk. Black Merda was a powerful funk-rock band who released a couple of forgotten albums back in the early 70s and then disappeared. Apparently they've enjoyed a limited but knowledgeable cult following, and someone ...

Head over Heels
Akarma Italy, 2005
HEAVY 70's guitar rock in the vein of the mighty Led Zep!!!
I hate to draw comparison, but these guys rock like Zep at their hardest. A tough trio and a real quality album with an excellent and heavy guitar explosion!! Sounds even better on vinyl!!!
For lovers of early 1970's heavy guitar psych/rock, be sure to check out Totty self titled and anything ...

+ A Great "Lost" Album!
This CD rocks - it's timeless. It certainly brings back many memories. When I listened to various cuts from the CD, I felt as though I stepped back into a time warp. After not listening to it for a number of years, I can hear a bit a Hendrix, together with Magic's own, unique sound. If you were in ...

Who the heck is Boa?
Boa is a band that never made it from the suburbs of Detroit. This album was made by a bunch of overzelous Teens from Rochester Michigan who recorded and released it on there own lable. Later collected all over the world by people who just like the garage or raw sounds of recorded music with out ...

Raw, Rabid Rock
+ Great 70s rock
The Dogs were a lethal power trio from the Detroit class of '69 who unfortunately never got their due, though they had a bit of a revival in the late 70s, when most of this performance was recorded. Loren Molinare's raspy growl and blazing guitarwork and Mary Kay's thundering bass were nicely ...

The Bob Seger System
Capitol, 1993
Album was released in April 1969 - NOT 1968!
+ Unfortunate Son
+ a system of Seger
Please Note that this Album was issued by Capitol Records in early April 1969. It did not come out in 1968 as others have eluded! (The 45rpm SINGLE of "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" was issued by Capitol in late Sept. 1968.)
