Stoned Guitar was a band from New Zeeland and this is their 2nd album released in the middle of the wave of psychadelica, acid rock and experimental music and this is no exception to the "rule" at the time. It is very Jimi Hendrix-inspired escpecially the vocal style. It is not at all among the better albums I have heard in this style; the songs are monotone and very very noisy with a lot of, dare I say, stoned guitar...
Maurice Greer still fronts the band in 2013 and Billy TK is still a well known and active musician in New Zeeland. Larry Waide is dead.
1)Black Sally (7,5) Heavy, noisy, slow rocker with a good refrain and a wild guitar solo.
2)Stoned guitar (1,5) I don't understand this. Just terrible guitar-cat-that-gets-killed-noise.
3)Jug-a-jug (7,0) First terrible noise for 3 minutes and then a very Hendrix-inspired very noisy song but with some good guitar playing.
4)Midnight sun (6,0) Monotone riff in this 10-minute slow hard rocker.
5)Tomorrow (5,0) Melodic acoustic that sounds like Bob Marley's Redemption Song.
6)Railway and gun (3,0) (Rory Gallagher) 9-minute slow blues with noisy guitar playing.
Score: 5,00
Maurice Greer-vocals and drums
Billy Te Kahika-guitars
Larry Waide-bass and guitars
