BILLY BOND Y LA PESADA Del Rock and Roll - 1-2 (heavy psych 1972) CD
CLOUD FOREST/LION
$10.00
Heady and heavy work from Billy Bond and La Pesada Del Rock & Roll -- a guitar heavy group from Argentina, and one with plenty of blues rock overtones!
The guitars are definitely turned up to 11 here -- jamming with an intensity to match some of the best hard rock sides from Peru reissued by the Lazarus label in recent years -- and like those sets, there's a sound here that's an intensification of earlier beat group modes -- taken into much harder territory for the 70s. The production is great -- earthy, trippy, and a little bit spooky -- and the album's got an oddly unsettling feel, one that's familiar at first, but then increasingly estranged as the record moves on.
Quite compelling.
