Sea Shanties
Psych Used - LP LST 7638 Liberty
Rare 1969 Stereo Original Housed In A Gatefold Cover. LP Appears Glossy, Unplayed. "On Sea Shanties, There's Nothing Fey And Flowery In Hill's Bleak Lyrics Or His Doomy Jim Morrison-Like Delivery, And Psychedelia's Melodic Whimsy Is Supplanted By A Physicality More In Line With The Visceral Heft Of Metal Progenitors...High Tide Weren't A Power Trio, Though, And It Was The Interplay Of Hill's Guitar With Simon House's Violin That Created The Band's Unique Signature. Showing That Rock Violin Needn't Be A Marginal Adornment, House Whips Up An Aggressive Edge That Rivals The Guitar... High Tide Had The Muscularity Of A No-Nonsense Proto-Metal Band, But They Also Ventured Into Prog Territory With Changing Time Signatures And Tempos, Soft-Hard Dynamics, Multi-Part Arrangements, And Even Some Ornate Faux-Baroque Interludes... Far From The Collection Of Nautical Ditties Its Name Suggests, Sea Shanties Is An Overlooked Gem Encapsulating The Shifting Musical Currents In Late-'60s British Rock." Wilson Neale, AMG.... more details |
