The Triangle — Now How Blue Cow 1969 (USA, Psychedelic,Blues Rock)

The Triangle came together in El Paso, Texas and fused a good sound. Good enough to take to LA so they brought it with them when they came. They brought it to the Galaxy on the Sunset Stnp.

I was the guitar player/vocalist on the Triangle album and it was a remarkable outing. It got a five star rating in Billboard in June 1969 (Neil Young got four and a half), but was never supported with quantities or promotion.

I spelled my name at the time Carelli for simplicity. The drummer, Ty Grimes went on to play for Ricky Nelson and left the group right before the plane crash that killed all members.

The bass player went on to engineer/produce many hits including "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Leo Sayer hits. The Triangle album was also co-produced by Chris Huston, an Englishman who produced some Led Zeppelin albums."

Very Consistent and enjoyable offering by this Texan psych rock trio. Most of their stuff has some undeniable pop orientation, and even though there are a couple of well-known rhythm & blues/soul covers, most of the remaining tracks seems to be influenced by that genre too, but make no mistake about it, this is a psychedelic rock album.
For me, the highlights are "Magic Touch" and "Stop Leading Me On", two tracks where they really rocks out, "Torn Down" was pretty close too.
Something that happens to me with this album is that each time I listen to it, I found myself enjoying more a track that were previously just a 'pretty good' one... and that's always a positive thing, you know?.
Overall, the whole set is very solid and makes this a very recommendable album.Nabuco_El_Bizcocho Sep 15 2023
