Recorded in 1969 and released in 1970. Fuse from Rockford Il. featured Rick Nielson and Tom Petersson, and at one time, Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. This hard rock/psych album didn't do as well as the label had hoped. But then again, we may not have had Cheap Trick! It's very guitar driven to say the least. Featuring some awesome duel riffs. Tom Petersson said "the band was much better than the record suggested. The producer was an idiot." Perhaps that's why this is their only release.
Rick has nothing but good things to say of the album, stating: "Tom Petersson and I were in a midwest band called Fuse. The guys that we were with were all superior musicians. They're probably all in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now... The Fuse stuff was my finest work. We stand by it and wished Cheap Trick played that well."
