Ranmadou - 1971 Summer (1971) (Japan, Hard Blues Rock)



 Japanese group established guitarist Eyryu Co. (Eiryu Kou) (ex-Blues Creation, ex-Blind Lemon Jefferson, ex-Dew). Represent the debut work of Japanese quartet, to present here a powerful bluesy hard rock with howling guitar solos, heavy bass riffs, often playing in unison with the guitar and husky vocals, spew some curses exclusively in Japanese dialect ... Presented tracklist - it's actually just indulgence for us, sophisticated western music lovers. In fact, all songs (except Hoochie Coochie Man) called by another name, in Japanese ... The Japanese in 1971, managed to vinyl record 53 minutes of music - I do not understand, because not Japanese ... Maybe it was a double record, but nowhere is this mentioned ...
