44) Steppenwolf-At Your Birthday Party 1969

Av Mikael Persson - 22 september 2011 14:33

 


Steppenwolf was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1967 and this is their 3rd album. They were among the early heavier rockands that defined the rocksound of the 70's and beyond. There's also a significant flower power-psychedelic in their music which also can be heard on this album.



John Kay came with his mother from Germany to Canada in 1958 after fleeing from the Soviet troops during the 2nd world war. He is also colorblind. 


Michael Monarch plays in the supergroup World Classic Rockers.


Nick St. Nicholas was born in Germany and came to Canada after world war 2. He also plays in World Classic Rockers.


Goldy McJohn was born in Canada and records soloalbums.


Jerry Edmonton was born in Canada and died in a car accident in USA in 1993.



1)Don't cry (6,0) Hardhitting guitarplaying, steady marching pace and psychedelic.

2)Chickenwolf (7,0) Nice basslick and the charasmeristic vocals from Kay.

3)Lovely meter (3,5) Acoustic guitars and strange singing. Drugs?

4)Round and down (5,5) Step's goes honky-tonk-psycho. Just crazy

5)It's never too late (7,0) Almost a ballad. Beautiful song with all the typical Steppenwolf trademarks and strong singing.

6)Sleeping dreaming (-)

7)Jupiter child (7,5)

8)She'll be better (7,5) A nice ballad but why destroy the end with chaos?

9)Cat killer (-) Piano/keyboard-duelling.

10)Rock me (7,5)

11)God fearing man (7,5)

12)Mango juice (6,0) Cool psychotune.

13)Happy birthday (5,0)

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
