Album Description Full Artist - Chris Etheridge, John Barbata, Joel Scott Hill. Probably the greatest & most obscure supergroup album, combining the talents of a core group of Joel Scott Hill (guitar/vocals), the Flying Burrito Brothers' Chris Ethridge (bass/piano/vocals), & The Turtles' Johnny Barbata (drums). Hill's blue-eyed soul vocals on such rockers as 'It's Your Love' & Dr. John's brilliant, New Orleans-soaked 'Craney Crow' clearly attest to his sheer genius. Perhaps the album's crowing achievement is a version of Booker T. Jones' slow & smoky gospel/blues workout, 'Ole Man Trouble,' which is aided by the songwriters' Hammond organ performance & a sterling background vocal arrangement. Numerous guest appearances, including Dr. John & Leon Russell. Ten tracks produced by Paul Rothchild. Water. 2004. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHow did this one go unnoticed? Charles Anderson | Ft. Pierce, Fl United States | 07/29/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm blessed that this has been re-released on cd. I remember buying this after a Rolling Stone review (when it was worth reading). I couldn't keep this off my turntable so I was not sure it was gonna hit like it did originally to my ears. This holds up well. Scott's vocals have got all those elements that you like in a blues & rock singer. There is not a filler song in the bunch. In my opinion the version here of Craney Crow is better than the Dr. and that's saying something. They really sounded like a tight band that enjoyed playing with each other. The standouts are Bring It To Jerome, It's Your Love, Craney Crow, Ole Man Trouble and Etheridge's L.A. Getaway. The other cuts are just a slight notch below those just mentioned. You might have missed this back in the 70's, but I promise it doesn't sound dated and you'll see that good music can be made while having fun. It's true these guys were seasoned session guys who made everybody else sound so good, but it's hard to believe this one went mostly unnoticed." How did this not go platinum? Michael E. Ware | MERIDIAN, MS United States | 03/21/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "That is a good question. It was not promoted well and got little airplay. The only reason I heard it as early as I did was that Chris Ethridge was a good friend of mine and he turned me on to it. I can remember sitting around in my bar at 5:00am one morning, zonked to the gills, listening to Chris play electric piano and sing Craney Crow.
This album was fantastic. It featured Dr.John, Leon Russell, Booker T and Priscilla Jones, Spooner Oldham, John Sebastian, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, and many others on various tracks as well as Joel Scott Hill, Johhny Barbata, and Chris Ethridge. This is truly one album that should be in everyones collection of early seventies music. Michael Ware-Meridian, Ms " |
