Залит Fraternity Of Man/(1969)_Fraternity Of Man

Продолжаю радовать вас и себя японскими ремастерами редкой психоделии.
ФОМ - группа, которая стала широко известна публике, благодаря своей композиции, включенной в культовый фильм 60-х "Беспечный Ездок".
На самом деле её корни уходят в Мазерз оф Инвеншен, а ростки - в Литтл Фит.
Группа выпустила два диска и разбежалась - Элиот Ингбер ушел к Капитану Бифхарту, а Ловелл Джордж и Билл Пейн создали Литтл Фит (любимую группу Джимми Пейджа, кстати).
По музыке, как вы уже догадались - это американский гараж/психоделик-рок 60-х.
Рекомендую!

Those decidedly more belligerent outings are contrasted by the intricate and Baroque qualities of "Wispy Paisley Skies" and the aforementioned steel guitar-driven "Don't Bogart Me." Нowever, the comfortable misfit rockers "Candy Striped Lion's Tail," "Field Day," or the slightly perverse R&B-flavored "Bikini Baby" are among the best sides on the album. The latter was revived on the utterly dismissible dash for cash EP titled X (1995). The Fraternity of Man issued one follow-up, Get It On (1969) for Dot Records, prior to its dissolution in the waning months of the decade.

This US band was formed in Los Angeles, California, USA in 1967 when Elliot Ingber (guitar, ex-Mothers Of Invention) joined forces with three members of struggling aspirants the Factory: Warren Klein (guitar/sitar), Martin Kibbee (bass) and Richie Нayward (b. Richard Нayward, 6 February 1946, Clear Lake, Iowa, USA; drums). Lawrence ‘Stash’ Wagner (lead vocals/guitar) completed the line-up featured on The Fraternity Of Man, a musically disparate selection ranging from melodic flower-power (‘Wispy Paisley Skies’) to rhetorical politics (‘Just Doin’ Our Job’). The album also featured a version of Frank Zappa’s ‘Oh No I Don’t Believe It’, but is best recalled for the ‘dopers’ anthem ‘Don’t Bogart Me’, later immortalized in the movie Easy Rider.

The blues-influenced Get It On! lacked the charm of its predecessor, but featured contributions from pianist Bill Payne and former Factory guitarist Lowell George, both of whom resurfaced, with Нayward, in Little Feat. Ingber was also involved with the last-named act during its embryonic stages, but left to join Captain Beefheart, where he was rechristened Winged Eel Fingerling. In later years he emerged as a member of the Mothers’ offshoot, Grandmothers. Many years later, Ingber and Wagner briefly reunited under the Fraternity Of Man banner to record the dreadful 1995 EP X.

The Fraternity of Man was an American blues rock and psychedelic rock group from the 1960s. They are most famous for their 1968 song "Don't Bogart Me," which was featured in the 1969 road movie Easy Rider. Its original members included three musicians from Lowell George's band The Factory - Richie Нayward later of Little Feat, Warren Klein, and Martin Kibbee - who joined Elliot Ingber from the Mothers of Invention and Larry Stash Wagner. Blues leads were handled by Ingber, and psychedelic leads were played by Klein, including "Oh No I Don't Believe It" (widely attributed to Ingber due to his association with the Mothers). The band broke up after recording two albums.

Personnel:
Lawrence "Stash" Wagner - lead vocals, guitar
Elliot Ingber - guitar
Warren Klein - guitar, sitar, tambura
Martin Kibbee - bass
Richard Нayward - drums, backing vocals
