DELANEY BRAMLETT – Mobius Strip – (Columbia) – 1973
I probably shouldn’t like Delaney Bramlett as much as I do. I don’t like white blues much (well, unless it is bastardised or taken on a flying carpet somewhere). The “faithful” stuff, when white, I find a little artificial. I … Continue reading
JETHRO TULL – Aqualung – (Chrysalis) – 1971

THE FRANKIE MILLER BAND – The Rock – (Chrysalis) – 1975
I had never heard of Frankie Miller before. I bought the album on the strength of the sleeve which indicated some sort of roots Americana music. It, in fact, is southern soul rock, though done by a Scotsman. Wikipedia: "Frankie … Continue reading
CACTUS – ‘Ot ‘n’ Sweaty – (Atlantic) – 1972
what Frank is listening to #34 – CACTUS – 'Ot 'n' Sweaty – (Atlantic) – 1972 I had never heard any "Cactus" before but I knew of them mainly because Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert were from NYC heavy psych … Continue reading
