Realizing the futility of trying to control this band, Roulette Records allowed The Fallen Angels almost total artistic freedom in the production of their second album, entitled "It's A Long Way Down". The group's efforts resulted in what many aficionados of the psychedelic genre consider a masterpiece. Without any outside meddling, The Fallen Angels were able to craft a recording which more accurately portrayed the group's eclectric musical approach. Song selections which especially stand out include: "Horn Playing On My Thin Wall", "Look To The Sun", One Of The Few Ones Left", a soaring, jazzy "Look At The wind" and the haunting finale "I'll Drive You From My Mind".

Rotary Connection's psychedelic chamber soul continues to sound ambitious and progressive decades after the group's departure. Instantly recognizable from the dramatic string arrangements of Charles Stepney and the five-octave voice of Minnie Riperton, the group released six albums between 1967 and 1971 that combined rock, soul, and psychedelia to theatrical.

Blind Willie McTell's music is characterized by his clear voice and twelve-string finger picking technique. His crisp, clean guitar lines intertwine with and underline his lyrics. Through his wide repertoire McTell was able to cater to his audience, being adept at playing blues, ragtime, gospel, pop, and country material. None of his records was a hit, however, he was able to record prolifically by creating a different pseudonym for each recording scout he encountered.

Double live albums were commonplace during the '70s, even for bands that weren't particularly good in concert. As a travelin' band, Lynyrd Skynyrd made their fame and fortune by being good in concert, so it made sense that they released a double-live, entitled One More from the Road, in 1976, months after the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets.

A progressive band formed in Brighton in 1968 by violinist and multi-instrumentalist Dave Arbus. Their novelty hit with the instrumental 'Jig A Jig' was completely untypical of their usual musical style, progressive rock with lots of hard rock guitar and Dave Arbus' wild violin work.
The band were very popular in London's underground clubs.

Among the many unmemorable late '60s psychedelic bands that put out a record or two, Colours do stand out from the pack a bit for a couple of reasons. One is that they were among the relatively few American bands to adopt a very British orchestrated pop-psychedelic style, which must have been honed by incessant listening to every track the Beatles did in 1967.

1972

Manfred Mann had spent the goddamn Sixties as a serious commercial figure, after all, and he was only willing to tread experimental musical water as long as it didn't threaten the accessibility of whatever he was making. In other words, here was a jazz-lovin' pop figure lured into a different genre by all the whacky progheads of the time.Manfred Mann's Earth Band is a completely satisfying album and one of the most underrated of the '70s.

Original Animals members keyboardist Alan Price and drummer John Steel quit, and were replaced by Dave Rowberry and Barry Jenkins respectively.

A band that has always found more succes in Europe than in their homeland. Green On Red were based around Dan Stuart and Chuck Prophet. Seen, with some justification as the ultimate American Bar Band, Green On Red's Sound owed a good deal to Neil Young and Country/Blues traditions.
