Relatively Clean Rivers - Relatively Clean Rivers.įormer Beat Of The Earth leader Phil Pearlman assembled this band in the early 70's. As a side note the band had close links with the grateful dead (guesting on albums and eventually forming Dead side project Kingfish with Bob Weir). Don Johson was the vocalist of this group before his acting (?) career.
Turn on your lovelight by the rainy daze full#
The album featured the songwriting talents of Carter Gilbert who wrote such songs as 'Incense & Peppermints' and 'That Acapulco Gold' (For the Rainy Daze) Mixing a blend of CSN&Y, Moby Grape, Stained Glass and early Poco this release is full of beautiful vocal harmonies, biting electric guitar and swirling keyboards. My favorite is their song "Rollin' Into Salyer" friendly lyrics, nice hooks and harmoniesĪ superb US country psych gem originally released in 1969 on the White Whale label. With a very distinctive Grateful Dead-Quicksilver sound, GDB were one of the rarest bands to come out of the bay area in the early seventies. Highly recommended for fans of US '60's West Coast psych.įrom 1971, this ultra-rare LP featured former Sons Of Champlin member Tim Cain. The trippy flowing guitar work is truly breathtaking. The first album in particular is a stunning West Coast syled acid rock album with flashes of Quicksilver Messenger Service and Anthem Of The Sun era grateful dead. Much ignored Danish band who had an English vocalist, and who made these two great albums in 19 respectively.
