GRAVY TRAIN - Gravy Train (1970)

Gravy Train were a progressive rock group from Lancashire, England, formed by vocalist and guitarist Norman Barratt in 1969. Together with J.D. Hughes (keyboards, vocals, wind), Lester Williams (bass, vocals) and Barry Davenport (drums) they recorded four studio albums. The first two were released on the Vertigo label, and the latter two by Dawn Records. The band was dissolved in 1975. Little is known what happened with its members except for Barratt, who appeared in Mandalaband for their second and final album in 1978. He went on to found the Barratt Band, which recorded albums in the early 1980s. Les Williams has been working as Ocean Entertainments - an agency for bands and acts - since the 1980s. - wikipedia

Wonderful debut by this British band. Gravy Train isn't exactly the most progressive band out there, this here is more of a hard rock album, a Tull meets Sabbath hybrid, with heavy guitar riffs from Norman Barrett, and Ian Anderson-like flutes from J.D. Hughes.
