Thunder and Roses were an early power trio from Philadelphia/USA, making heavy bluesy psychedelic rock in the same vein of groups like Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience and Blue Cheer.

Their only album opens with “White Lace and Strange”. It is a free-flowing, mind-boggling heavy psych piece; the musical equivalent to an amorphous, three-dimensional mirage of stunning iridescence viewed while stoned. The song was later covered by Nirvana in the 90s.

The band does well by varying the level of intensity with “I Loved A Woman”, which is rather mellow heavy psych marked by aggressively strummed major (and seventh) chords where you’d least expect them, and some extremely psychedelic harmonies on the chorus.

Other notable tracks include the cover of Hendrix’s blues rock classic “Red House” and then we have a wacky little psychedelic hard rocker called “Moon Child”. “Dear Dream Maker” is a more solemn, minor-key psych venture, preceding the peaceful, half country/half psychedelic instrumental title track, and then there’s the 7 minute-plus closer; a splendid amalgamation of the band’s sound.
