Family “Music In A Dolls House“ 1968 vinyl full album

FAMILY existed from early 1967 until late 1973. During this period, this UK band from Leicester were festival staples, , touching on 60′s psychedelia, breezy acoustic passages, hard progressive rock, jazz-flavorings The basis of the group lies with the song writing partnership of Roger Chapman and Charlie Whitney. Mr. Chapman is thought by many to have the most unique voice in rock. This can be alternately down-home and soothing, to outright manic and throat-wrenching…almost a bleating straight from hell itself. “Music In A Doll’s House” their debut album, is saturated in intelligent, psychedelic lyrics and musically delivers instrumentation combining brass, strings alongside a remarkable rhythm section fronted by the passionate vocals of Roger Chapman to create a swirling, abstract, densely hallucinatory wall of sound. IMO one the ‘game changing’ albums of the time. Roger Chapman – lead vocals, harmonica, tenor saxophone. John “Charlie” Whitney – lead guitar, steel guitar Jim King – tenor and soprano saxophone, harmonica, vocals Ric Grech – bass guitar, violin, cello, vocals Rob Townsend – drums, percussion
