SOUTHBOUND
HOUR GLASS
- Ref. XH827B
- ACADIA, 1992. Enregistrement 1967-1999.
"This is really an embryonic Allman Brothers band, with Duane and Gregg fronting the otherwise unfamiliar lineup. However, that's not to say that it's either good or particularly close to the Allmans' sound. Instead, it's dated L.A. acid rock, vaguely like the the Buffalo Springfield minus the harmonies (Neil Young's liner notes for this album were "witnessed" by Steve Stills). The material is uneven and the production is disgraceful, obsessing on gimmicky pop song riffs; and with the band featuring two keyboard players, skating-rink organ parts get plastered on everything. The low point is a lame instrumental cover of "Norwegian Wood," with Duane plunking away on electric sitar. In the end, the band only seems comfortable on the slow Southern blues numbers".
