Rock Arousal
Another jazzrock [with horns] band, this British group
formed in 1968, releasing this sole excellent album in 1971, and are hardly in
the BS&T/Chicago mould having a much heavier overall sound [though early
Chicago did too]. My favourites on the whole album are those with the Edgar
Broughton-esque vocals, so opener Things
I Should’ve Been, fifth Song For
Chaos, seventh Number One – Last Request
and eighth Number Two – Down At The
Mission. Elsewhere you’ll hear occasional Country tinges and other vocal harmonising
erring on the side of folk-pretty, but the album ends on the wah-wah guitar and
percussion dominant gem Got To Get Away.
It’s all a rousing way to deliver Rock.
