Smokin' Willie - Smokin' Willie (1970 us, rough heavy psych,Blues Rock
Another American power trio, this native of Illinois, who like the vast majority left only one album released. With 500 copies and distributed only in their presentations the value of the wafer reached worth thousands of dollars in the midst of collectors for decades until its revival on CD by Radioactive Records in 2006.
This is essentially a disk Hard Rock with just a composition copyright, "Hot Blooded Mama", the five remaining tracks are covers of popular songs in the '70s as "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and "House Fo The Risin 'Sun" but in compensation the covers of the band were extremely classudas giving a tone much heavier and if compare with the original one left over even the letters. With the use and abuse of hammond and much fuzz I can only conclude by stating that the download is required and that this disc is basic discography lovers Hard seventies!
