THE BLUES IMAGE
OPEN
\ USA - Atco (WHITE) - SD 33 300 (White label promo)
CLEAN & RARE !!! advance release WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL...ORIGINAL 1970 first pressing
...the second of three good albums by the BLUES IMAGE who scored the excellent surprise hit "Ride Captain Ride" ...on this album...
When Blues Image launched into their 1970 chart smash, 'Ride Captain Ride', the smoking lamp was lit up ! And, with their subtle use of Latin Rhythms, featuring tantalizing fret-board guitar work by Mike Pinera and the addictive conga drums of Joe Lala, this Tampa, Fla. combo proved themselves anything but a one hit wonder on their out of nowhere classic, "Open"
Blues Image's second album was their most successful, in large part because of the inclusion of their huge hit single "Ride Captain Ride." The rest of the record, however, shows them to be a band in search of a more individual voice, borrowing heavily as it does from Jimi Hendrix ("Love Is the Answer," "Pay My Dues"), Creedence Clearwater Revival ("Running the Water"),
any number of average blues-rock bands ("Clean Love"), and the Latin-rock fusion of Santana
("La Bamba," "Consuelate," and the instrumental "Wrath of Daisey"). Those familiar only with "Ride Captain Ride" might be surprised at the band's versatility, which took in blues, Latin, and hard rock, though not in as even or striking a mixture as, say, Santana. It's a pedestrian form of versatility, though, with none of the other songs possessing the pop hooks of "Ride Captain Ride
