BLACKHORSE USA 1979 PRIVATE SOUTHERN HARD ROCK LP MINT (USA-PRIVATE-1979)

Blackhorse were a great Texan three-piece band, who operated out of the Fort Worth/Dallas area during the seventies. The band, formed in the early seventies were in the same territory as ZZ Top and Point Blank, playing near flawless 'Texan boogie', plus being there or thereabouts through the decade while those two other outfits were recording and touring relentlessly.

Gary James had a formidable reputation, and his tough playing and exterior paved the way for many other bands to follow in his footsteps. It is easy to see where other Southern bands might have picked up a thing or two from watching Blackhorse perform live around many locations throughout the South during that timeframe.

Though we are reflecting on this album years later, its significance sees it mentioned in celebrity rock critic Martin Popoff's list of the '100 Heaviest Albums of the Seventies', reaching No 75 on a list that contains Motorhead, AC/DC and Van Halen no less!

Musically, Blackhorse are stretching the bounds of their Texan pedigree. The guitarwork of James beefed up to a point that comparisons can be made to Molly Hatchet, Doc Holliday and that one-off effort from Freddie Salem and The Wildcats.

Was the backing band for spanish folk-singer Sisa after his electrification around 1969, this bunch of catalan youngsters led by the Batiste-Herrera tandem became soon the most prominent and visible heads of the grassroots movement which shake the foundations of the city’s musical world at the beginning of the seventies and which can be considered as the parting shot for Condition: EX / M-

M- : the record might have been played but it has no defects other than pressing stains that do not affect sound quality.

EX : only slight signs of wear; very clean, only light surface marks which will not distract significantly from the sound. Cover also has only slight wear, and is still in nice collectible condition.

VG+ : played often with moderate surface wear and some moderate noise - still plays well. Cover may have medium overall wear or some ring wear.

VG : overall wear, but no skips of serious defects, more noisy sound during quiet passages. Cover is well worn, usually with considerable ring wear.
