Tucky Buzzard - s/t 1971

A British hard rock band formed in 1969, by three former members of "The End." The original lineup was: Jimmy Henderson (vocals), Terry Taylor (guitar), David Brown (bass), Paul Frances (drums), and Nick Grahm (keys). Halfway through recording this, their debut album, Frances departed and was replaced with Chris Johnson, who recorded all the (awesome) drum parts, and was credited on the album sleeve. Tucky Buzzard produced a total of five albums between 1969 and 1973. The bands producer was Bill Wyman, of The Rolling Stones. Terry Taylor has worked with Bill Wyman on a number of musical projects, including Willie & the Poor Boys, and Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings.
Tucky Buzzard was prominently featured in an article called "Top 6 classic rock bands you didn't know that you didn't know" by Dave White.








Euphoria - "Lost in Trance" 1973

Psychedelic power trio from Wisconsin circa 1973. Rumor is they re-grouped recently and relocated out west to Washington, but it fizzled out? Really great acid/guitar psych-rock although with a very annoying singer. Well, maybe not him so much as his vocals. A good rockin' up-tempo kinda jam, with great guitars. The original packaging was a lot cooler that the re-issue. (which is pretty boring, actually). It's been described as a pillar of the genre, and sounds as if it could have been recorded MUCH earlier than '73. Good luck getting your hands on one of these. Very limited press on a private label, Probably made enough for their friends and to sell at shows, which was the norm for back then. Totally killer fuzzed- out biker psych. It's been reissued on CD (Mason Records), but the availability is something I unfortunately can not provide.
