Ursa Major – Ursa Major (1972) (@256)
17 Jun 2010
(Review from amazon)
Ursa Major was an American hard-rocking power trio from Michigan.
There are no guitar pyrotechnics on here, but the riffs and the way Wagner plays are what make this such a good guitar album. They are heavy but with a good sense of melody. The vocals very much harken Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad.
Standout tracks include “Lay Me Down” and “Darkest Hour”. Silver Spoon is a live track, featuring the band in front of a crowd.
For a power trio, Ursa Major was a step above many of their contemporaries for complexity, style, and song quality.
Wagner would later find more success working with Lou Reed and Alice Cooper.
Line-up:
- Dick Wagner / Guitar, Vocals
- Greg Arama / Bass, Vocals
- Ricky Mangone / Drums
Track List:
01. Sinner – 7:31
02. In My Darkest Hour – 5:26
03. Silver Spoon – 6:16
04. Stage Door Queen – 5:27
05. Back To The Land – 6:47
06. Lay Me Down – 4:35
07. Liberty And Justice – 5:51

This is one of my favorites, used to be very healing when in bad mood. Loud, louder, oops my speakers . . .
Do you happen to have the later Dick Wagner live recording “the Frost – Live at the Grande Ballroom” ? Curious how that sounds.
