FACTORY SEALED !!!!

1968 BLUES/JAZZ/PROG/PSYCH JAMMER
THE OUTLAW BLUES BAND
...USA -BLUESWAY Records ~ BLS 6021
Super Hard to find, especially STILL FACTORY SEALED.... you hardly EVER see this album available...but still sealed after 43 years??? Rarer than you may think!!!
Thee Original 1968 first pressing vinyl in thick gatefold cover... a cool find for the very first (of two) album by the OUTLAW BLUES BAND, who decided to call themselves outlaws because of their self-proclaimed unconventional music.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The OUTLAW BLUES BAND sound is a very progressive blues rock/psych sound for the time that they recorded this album (1968). Their version of "Tobacco Road" was quite unusual. This group was far ahead of its time. They were to make one more album, "Breaking In" in 1969 and that was the end of this way-out of the ordinary group. This is blues to the next level, touches of psychedelic and prog, some evidence in sound to the German 'Krautrock" band Xhol ! Theres some farout echo efect, jaming flute, An interesting investment/collectible to say the least...
The Outlaw Blues Band decided to call themselves outlaws because of their self-proclaimed unconventional music. This is how they referred to rock music of the day-"It’s a 4/4 tempo that’s still rocking in its chair, not as a lady, but as a wench that shook up the historical path of music." They stated in the album liner notes that they created the song "Death Dog Of Doom" in 6/8 tempo, thus making them a progressive band.
As their name suggests, this was a blues-rock outfit from Los Angeles, California. They were one of the several new acts signed by Bob Thiele, an American record producer who worked on countless classic jazz albums and record labels such artists as John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, Gato Barbieri, Sonny Rollins and others for the ABC Record label.
Their first album “The Outlaw Blues Band and the People” recorded in 1968; features lots of fluid guitar and you should enjoy this if blues-rock is your thing. Even if it isn’t, you might still like it.
Certainly “Got To Have Peace On My Mind” Other highlights include an interesting reinterpretation of “Tobacco Road”, the jammer “Death Dog of Doom”, “Tried to Be a Good Boy” and “Two ‘Tranes Running” (not a misspelling but homage to John Coltrane). Other highlights include a cool blues tune with the great satirical title is "Tried To Be A Good Boy (But I’m Worse Than A Nazi)," followed by the fast paced "How Bad Love Can Be" and "I’ve Got To Have Peace On My Mind" is very imaginative with interesting sound effects and it extends far beyond the usual blues-rock format where they get a little psychedelic.
