The Outlaw Blues Band — The Outlaw Blues Band And The People 1968 (USA, Blues,Blues Rock)
Lost Unique Blues Rock Obscurity This band was way ahead of their time in blending a unique mix of blues, jazz, rock, psych and pop. Smashing it all together in a melting pot of awesome sounds! The song "I've Got To Have Peace On My Mind" is a great example with its psych echo flavor.recorddigger Jan 28 2017
When I first listened to Safe as Milk, it was one of those albums I was certain I would never find anything quite like. This release proved me wrong. Whilst the two are very different in many ways, they both might be called 'mutant,' 'deconstructed,' or 'acid' blues. Beefheart applied electric blues instrumentation and sensibilities to psychedelic rock and pop, while The Outlaw Blues Band have taken funk, jazz, and psychedelic rock sensibilities and instrumentation and applied them to the electric blues. Nearly everything on this album sounds like the blues, but is distinctly not typical electric blues.
It's fantastic.summerisle Sep 05 2025
