Heavy Trip #70 - 44:40 Personnel: - Ray Escott - lead vocals, percussion - John Harrow - lead guitar - Kurt Sunderman - rhythm guitar - Buster McCarthy - bass - LJ Fortier - drums Cortland, Ohio 1969-71 This group that represents the late 60s, early 70s heavy psychedelic era scene in Ohio, USA (Dragonwyck). This collection of original songs is an exciting bit of rock history that documents some of the charm, wit and depth of talent that made this act the special local phenomenon they were. 12 great, tracks ( 180g vinyl and extra 7“ 45 rpm record), with bio and photo inserts. Mind-bending vocals backed by instrumentation that includes some very intense, heavy fuzz and wah pedal guitar sounds, solid drums and a screaming organ (similar to groups such as Heep, Spooky Tooth or Arcadium). Prepare to get off on cuts like the 18 minute “Heavy Trip #70“, the Hendrix-like “Tomorrow Is Plastic“ and what we would venture to say is the heaviest version of Merle Travis’ “16 Tons“ ever recorded! With this previously unreleased album, they may be taking up where they left off. For fans of intelligently executed psychedelic hard rock and pop with a message.
