Heavy Balloon - 32,000 Pound, 16 Ton (1969) (USA, Heavy Psychedelic Blues-Rock)



Heavy Balloon - a one-time hippie musical project from New York City. In part it was 20 people (as stated on the cover) - men and women. Who's that what he did and what was playing - I do not know, and especially do not want to know ... Among the participants was a fiddler Bobby Notkoff - who had been one of the founders of the Chicago group The Electric Flag (with Mike Bloomfield, Barry Goldberg, Buddy Miles). Then in 1968, played in the Los Angeles-based band The Rockets (with Danny Whitten, Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, brothers Leon and George Whitsell), which is then joined to the Nile and was named Young Crazy Horse. Also on the cover of this album, there is guitarist Chris (Christian) Osborne, who later played with David Peel (David Michael Rosario) and Yoko Ono (1971) ... About music album - like The Flock, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart ... Only a mock-hooligan and more acidic. Recorded on the album cover versions did not like most of the authors. In addition to John Lennon, who Owed To Sgt. Pepper liked ... No other records (either large or small) in Heavy Balloon no - I have already said that it was a one-time project hippovskoy ...
