Not Advant-Garde
The birth of Vinegar Joe in many respects because Robert Palmer and Elkie Brooks are members. The only Dada album coming out in 1970/71, it is a mixrd message of some reasonably straight rock but also soul/gospel and other generally over-produced tracks: She Walks Away an example of the latter, where there is a great tumbling-down sax riff and powerful vocal from Brooks to open, but it is quite wild and random as it progresses, with theatrical backing vocal and other more mid-60s orgestrations and choric elements. But this is of its time and the whole is an engaging amalgam of sounds. Mostly penned by band members, there are two covers: Richards/Jaggers The Last Time as a faithful representation, and then Tony Joe White's Aspen, Colorado with gentle flute and big-band heavy lifting.
