Green Bullfrog – Green Bullfrog Sessions (1970) (@256)
10 Jun 2010
(Review from allmusic, wikipedia)
Carved firmly in the mold of the superstar jam sessions that fascinated the rock cognoscenti during the late ’60s/early ’70s, Green Bullfrog was an album resulting from a one-off studio project and recorded between February and May 1970. The album was the idea of producer Derek Lawrence who assembled a group of musicians with whom he had worked in the 1960s. For contractual reasons, the musicians were billed under pseudonyms.
A few originals (penned by Lawrence) were played, as well as many blues-inflected covers of rock songs. With Blackmore, Sullivan, and Lee involved, it is naturally a guitar-heavy event, and there’s certainly some searing playing to be found amid the good-time grooves and loose-limbed energies; the seven-minute title track is a particular tour de force.
Line-up:
- Rod Alexander (Vicar) / Guitar
- Tony Ashton (Bevy) / Keyboards
- Ritchie Blackmore (Boots) / Guitar
- Matthew Fisher (Sorry) / Keyboards
