It also makes me think about the legendary “Fever” written by Cooley/Davenport. I love the way Alvin Lee sings, caressing the tune. This is the one I picked because of its gloomy atmosphere and the subtle guitar work. “As The Sun Still Burns Away” is the last cut of Cricklewood Green. Vibrant, rocking, smooth, smart and efficient are words that come to mind experiencing this classic album. All titles are solid, the guitar magic is omnipresent (is Alvin Lee one of the 10 most talented guitarists ever?) and the whole band feels so comfortable with this album it gives the listener total satisfaction. Neither will saying it’s their 5th LP.Ĭricklewood Green is, in my opinion, the last great album TEN YEARS AFTER recorded, before turning their music into a more mainstream Pop direction. Saying that Cricklewood Green is TEN YEARS AFTER’s most revered album won’t get me nowhere. It’s impossible to say something that hasn’t been said before, and picking a track is a hell of a test. Sure you’ll have to pay $100+ for an original US copy, but FUCK it’s worth several thousands! The other numbers are all utterly incredible and must-listens. “Bad Talk” is pure head-on Rock’n’Roll, banging and grooving, and “Paradise”, the last number here, is intense, frenzy and emotionally outstanding. “You’re In America”, the opener, is the track I played endlessly when I first discovered the LP. This is a true waste, but I guess the band was ahead of its time and people were not ready for them.īecause it’s Christmas time, and because this record is an absolute must-have, you’re granted 3 songs from this bomb. Too bad the record hardly sold when released and the band called it quits very quickly. If you don’t know GRANICUS, you don’t know Rock music. This record is one of the greatest examples of how a Rock record should sound like. The 8 songs here are absolute killers! It can’t get any better than this.

The multi-layered rhythm section is rock-solid and groovy at the same time.

You can tell the 2 guys are cool by the way they play their instruments.

The lead guitar is strong, raging and inventive, so is the rhythm guitar.

the singer has one the greatest voices I know, and honestly a lot of records suffer from weak vocal lines, but Woody Leffel just smokes!.

typically the kind of band you’d love to be in :

GRANICUS is simply the greatest US incarnation of a Heavy Rock band, well. This band is so much better than anything else you know of the era, you might never want to play any other record once you own this one. What we have here is one of the best ever Heavy Rock album of all time. This was supposed to be my christmas message but unfortunately I didn’t find enough time to post any song lately…
