Gathering Of Promises Music Review

Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Promises fulfilled!
If you like guitar-driven sixties pop, with a tinge of psychedelia, then this album is tops. I fell in love with "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" way back then, but the full album reveals the mostly unrecognised talent of this band. Check out "Lonely" and "Beginnings" for more examples of pure sixties guitar delights. Great nostalgia but still releavant.

4 stars Bubble Puppy-Complete IA
Well it's about time someone got around to put all these tracks on one CD. It's a shame the master tapes aren't around but still the sound quality is pretty good. Even on the Singles and it was good to include Hot Smoke in it's mono mix. Now if someone would get busy on the Demian material!!!

5 stars Finally...a good reissue of this group's material
The extra tracks and the informative liner notes were worth the cd. I am pleased to FINALLY see a reissue of this cd that includes all of this groups essential singles and recorded music along with the original album.

Clear Light CD (1967)

Gathering Of Promises album

$11.59

Kind of a minor league version of the Doors, Clear Light were a West Coast phenomenon, and although they didn't last too long, were an interesting group. A very good slice of Los Angeles psychedelia, Clear Light were a six-piece band that combined folk, rock, psychedelia, and even a touch of classical to their sound. The end result, though, is a little ponderous and pretentious, but strangely listenable. The big hit off this album (produced by Paul Rothchild and engineered by Bruce Botnick) was "Mr. Blue," a psychedelic folk song written by Tom Paxton. It's over six-minutes long and a bit overbaked, but it does have an odd appeal. The finer moments are guitarist Bob Seal's psychedelic folk-rock songs, namely "With All in Mind" and "They Who Have Nothing." Singer ...

Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Gathering Of Promises CD music

$6.75

A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune"). All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens ...

It's not surprising that bassist Rosko Gee and percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah went on to join German art-rockers Can. In fact, the 11-minute workout "Dream Gerrard," with its fluid groove, surreal lyrics, Chris Wood's lyrical saxophone interjections, and Steve Winwood's idiosyncratic ...

Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered

Gathering Of Promises songs

$8.79

After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain." The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and ...

Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow CD (1967) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Gathering Of Promises album

$6.09

This newly remastered 2003 deluxe edition contains bonus tracks. Originally released on RCA Victor (3766). Includes liner notes by Jeff Tamarkin and Bill Thompson. From the opening, hard-edged chords of "She Has Funny Cars," it's apparent that SURREALISTIC PILLOW, Jefferson Airplane's sophomore effort, is a far more spiky beast than the band's debut. It became not only San Francisco's soundtrack to the Summer Of Love, but all of America's. It spawned two Top Ten classics ("Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit") and established the Airplane as one of the main pop voices of the cultural revolution. Some of the newfound dynamism can be attributed to personnel changes. Singer-keyboardist Grace Slick, who joined the Airplane following a stint in the mildly successful Great Society, had a unique artistic gleam her predecessor, Signe Anderson, never possessed--both of the aforementioned ...

Blues Image Open CD (1970)

Gathering Of Promises CD music

$11.49

Blues Image's second album was their most successful, in large part because of the inclusion of their huge hit single "Ride Captain Ride." The rest of the record, however, shows them to be a band in search of a more individual voice, borrowing heavily as it does from Jimi Hendrix ("Love Is the Answer," "Pay My Dues"), Creedence Clearwater Revival ("Running the Water"), any number of average blues-rock bands ("Clean Love"), and the Latin-rock fusion of Santana ("La Bamba," "Consuelate," and the instrumental "Wrath of Daisey"). Those familiar only with "Ride Captain Ride" might be surprised at the band's versatility, which took in blues, Latin, and hard rock, ...
