Creepy John Thomas – Brother Bat Bone (1970) (@256)
12 Jun 2010
(Review from rateyourmusic.com)
“Brother Bat Bone” sounds at times like a mixture of Captain Beefheart and the Pink Fairies.
This is a rather irresistable progressive blues/boogie album. A totally inspired effort from start to finish with emotionally strong, at times deeply moving vocals, tremendous axework and a loose, groovy rhythm section.
Line-up:
- “Creepy” John Thomas / lead vocals, guitar
- Andy Marx / lead guitar, bass
- Helmut Pohl / drums
- Dave Hutchins / bass
- Roy O’Temro / drums
Track List:
01. Down In The Bottom – 5:11
02. What’s The Matter With The Mill – 3:16
03. Brother Bat Bone – 9:06
04. This Is My Body – 3:28
05. Standing In The Sunshine – 8:34
06. 100 Lib. Noomy – 2:29

Creepy John Thomas – Creepy John Thomas (1969) (@256)

(Info from allmusic)
Born in Sydney, Australian John Thomas has been rockin’ around a long time. He’s been writing songs since his first successful venture into the music business, when as a member of Melbourne based band The Flies, he co-wrote their chart hits. During this time, they became famous in Australia for their wild and frantic live performances.
A guitarist named John Thomas seems to have as much chance of being recognized as an individual as a fire hydrant in an urban setting. So dubbed himself Creepy John Thomas after moving to London.
His heavy blues-psych debut album was issued in 1969.
