Brethren - S/T (1970 Tiffany Records)




Quite nice, laid back and well played bluesy country-gospel. The best piece on the album, "Success Brand Oil" would be the main reason for pickin this up. If there just were more music like this groovy, jammy and a bit psych-tinged "Success Brand Oil"... Nice guitar work and Rick Marotta sounds in places almost like Billy Cobham. Most of the songs are written by guitarist Tom Gosgrove. "Just To Be There" is by one of my favorite keyboardists (not a memeber of this group) Mark "Moogy" Klingman, who unfortunately passed away on November this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPeLKGK2uW8 Tom Cosgrove, Stu Woods, Rick Marotta, Mike Garson + Dr. John and Rusty Young. Tight set.
