SHAD 053CD
|
Reissue of this psychedelic rock band from El Paso, TX, originally issued in 1970; previously reissued on the collectable Rockadelic label. Noted for its "real American Indian/Desert vibe", this was the band's only release. "This latest Rockadelic release out as Shadoks CD now came also from the the vaults of El Paso's Suemi label (like Iota) and has been turning some heads. Very unusual sounds spearheaded by brothers Darrell and Doug Adams who later moved to the West Coast and released LP's with the middle eastern influenced band Light Rain. The album has a spooky, late night vibe and the lyrics that reveal new meanings upon every listen. Great guitar work by Mike Cancelarre and twisted vocals by drummer/songwriter David Rutledge. Visions of late night desert peyote hallucinations on songs like 'Scissor-Tailed Swallow' and 'Country Of The Goose' compliment a hard rock, Captain Beefhart vibe on 'Mad Rapper'. Unusual timing and phrasing makes this journey into the twisted back roads of El Paso's great rock & roll heritage."
