Gun - Gunsight

I found this gem while treasure hunting for some new tunes. This is some straight up, good riffing rock and roll. Almost has a NWOBHM tinge to it while heavily steeped in 60's rock and roll. Not surprising since these guys were around from '68 to '69 and were based out of England.

The album moves from heavy, or what was considered heavy in those days, to light and airy pieces. Even listening to the track "Hobo" I think of the Beatles. This is definitely something that fans of proto-metal, nwobhm and bands like Budgie and Blue Cheer should check out.


Track listing:
01. Head in the Clouds
02. Drown Yourself in the River
03. Angeline
04. Dreams and Screams
05. Situation Vacant
06. Hobo
07. Lady Link, Pt. 1
08. Oh Lady You
09. Lady Link, Pt. 2
10. Long Hair Woman

Good one. "Drown Yourself" is like southern rock with that driving Hawkwind rhythm, and "Dreams and Screams" is worth the purchase of the album alone.

Thanks, man!
