Нello All!

Залит PeaceAnd_Quiet/(1971)_Peace_AndQuiet

Хард-рокеры из Майами, США. Выпустили один диск в 1971-м, после чего группа распалась и её музыканты разбрелись по Южной Флориде.
Начало альбома - Юрай Хип, потом начинается южный рок (МТБ/АББ). Последний трек чисто шуточный.
Весьма Рекомендую!

PEACE & QUIET (FL)

Prior to forming Peace & Quiet singer Rick Steele had kicked around with a number of Southern Florida bands, including The Villagers. Bassist Jim Tolliver had followed a similar path, recording with The Birdwatchers and Razor's Edge. With the original line up consisting of Steele, Tolliver, keyboardist Reuben David Ferguson, drummer Steve Нatch and guitarist Brad Peed, the band became staples on the Southern Florida club scene. As to be expected, the band underwent a steady stream of personnel changes and by 1971 Steele and Tolliver were the only founding members left. By the time the band attracted the attention of CBS's Kinetic label, the rest of the band consisted of guitarist Roger Pavlica, keyboardist Chuck Witherow and drummer Gregg Williams. Teamed with producer Larry Fallon, the cleverly titled "Peace & Quiet" is a surprisingly impressive debut. I've seen a couple of dealers describe it as being psych, but that's a pretty inaccurate tag. Featuring six extended tracks, material such as 'You Can Wait Till Tomorrow' and 'Country Thing' is more along the lines of hard rock, with occasional progressive moves. Probably doesn't sound very promising, but Steele had a good voice (occasionally giving the band a Deep Purple-ish feel) and all six tracks boast strong melodies and enthusiastic performances. Stand out track is the closing instrumental 'Looney Tunes'. One truly commercial pop-ish song and I would have given this four stars (okay, so I'm lame ...). [SB]
