Where To Find Shoestring Licorice

SIR LORD BALTIMORE

"This album is a poison, it is drunkenness that they offered a evening of bad luck, when everyday life is that human misery. " SIR LORD BALTIMORE" Kingdom Come 1970


Sometimes, knowledge of history is not enough. Sometimes, knowing millions of groups, their interconnections and the evolution of genres over time is not enough. There are puzzles that do not break, just because the face of a presence so unique, you can not find the ramifications, explain the sound.
Sir Lord Baltimore is one of those puzzles. What has he been happening in this neighborhood in New York and head of the boys to lay like explosion? What

history retained is that Sir Lord Baltimore was founded in 1968 by drummer-vocalist John Garner bassist Gary Justin, and guitarist Louis Dambra. The trio began with modest times of Cream and Jimi Hendrix. And also that guy from Kiss fans are always great.
And then .... And then comes this disc. We must believe that the blast was exceptional even in concert since the manager Dee Anthony, including cases dealing with Humble Pie, Traffic and Joe Cocker, signed them after a concert. And this debut album was produced by no less than Eddie Kramer, the engineer is appointed by Jimi Hendrix, and of course recorded in the famous Electric Ladyland Studios.
But then, Sir Lord Baltimore is a group that resembles nothing of what was happening at the time. Nor to Jimi Hendrix, as pioneers of the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal-what were Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or Black Sabbath. Yet these three, we understand the roots, the path, the British-Blues Boom, the Yardbirds, Vanilla Fudge, Jimi Hendrix and all the rest. Well the third rise is already becoming a bit difficult to follow, but when we know the path of the boys, the galleys in the Highlands or Hamburg, you can enter all the darkness of the subject.
But there .... Sir Lord Baltimore, it's an adrenaline rush without concession. The purpose is to brutality, of urban violence absolutely no equivalent.
It is a hard black night ebony monolith drunk with power and rage, apocalyptic digest what the Heavy-Rock can offer better, more enjoyable for the working poor without ambition we are.
Dice "Kingdom Come" and 6'34 ", you enter another dimension. The bass drum rhythm slap thick, heady, heavy, guitar saturates, fat, dripping molten metal. Bass, drunken fuzz and distortion, rumbling behind the riff. Garner's voice is that of a mad preacher, trying to hide behind his penalty ceremonial religious sins. He reigns Death, Sex, power V8 General Motors.
Verses of the magician pours a patient lysergic poetry made of the raging elements and death. The woman is a bitch lewd here, but the lyrics here are so vicious they are more likely to seduce, to ignite the Mounine. "Kingdom Come" is a concentrate of Sex, Drugs And Rock'N'Roll.
is questionable drugs, but let's be reasonable. But they have a role. They have allowed small players to spawn in a few hours and with means ridiculous, hard day considered gems of hard-psychedelic-heavy.
But then, Sir Lord Baltimore is not a classic for fans obtuse. Let the listener that listens lambda. This is imperative. Because the younger generation is confined to what the media wants to offer him. But this disc is dangerous. And offer fans the misguided, Iggy Pop, which considers that there is more crazy in the 70's Rock is a complete mistake.
This album is a poison, it is drunkenness that is offered one night of bad luck, when everyday life is that human misery. I think
Having listened dozens of times "Pumped Up", the closing track on disc. It is a compendium of madness, an uppercut music. The guitar of Louis Dambra tendril wrapped in pregnant, is spraying a dust of stars.
Violence against the female gender is total. It is found in "Hellhound", or "I Got A Woman." "Mister Heartache" is a fabulous piece of hard-metal relentless mid-tempo, its chrome gleaming in the night.
This disc is how manly. It is brutal, uncompromising. And listening will take you far, far away.
The group will produce a second album, very good, but more subtle. Dambra Joey's brother, Louis, took the second guitar. Training still survive until 1976, but failed to record his third album.
He published in 2006, but Garner was launched in the Christian Rock and Sir Lord Baltimore ajourd'hui has no interest. Rest this disc, single burst of napalm that burns the neurons of the listener like a careless shot of acid.
