This 1969 release by Watertown, New York’s Wool proves that even when you have strong talent and all the right connections, sometimes it still isn’t enough to get your band to break.
The group formed in the early ’60s, and were originally known as Ed Wool and The Nomads. Ed Wool, who was a master guitar prodigy and excellent songwriter, was influenced early on by the new British Invasion sound and later on by the cream-of-the-crop of soul/R&B. Ed Wool and The Nomads were huge in the mid-60s’ thriving Northern/Upstate New York music scene, even sharing the stage with bands such as Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, The (Young) Rascals, and The Rolling Stones. In 1966, Ed and The Nomads scored a recording contract with RCA Victor and had the chance to be the first group to record the Boyce & Hart tune “Valleri” in 1967, a year before The Monkees had a hit with it. Starting circa 1968, Ed Wool finally settled with a new and final group line-up, which included his younger sister Claudia on vocals, and began going by the simple, unique name “Wool.” In Upstate/Northern NY, the album was a hit, with several of the tunes being played constantly on local radio stations. Although it was largely unknown, one can assume that a lack of promotion from ABC Records was likely to blame for the album not being a national hit. It’s a shame, because the music contained on the album is downright good, with even some moments of greatness.
The album is a super tight blend of psych-rock, popsike, and funk. The album’s biggest highlight, a cover of Big Brother & The Holding Company’s “Combination Of The Two” from their 1968 "Cheap Thrills" album and absolutely blows the original out of the water in every aspect. Both the music and vocals make Big Brother’s version sound…dare we say…weak?! One should especially pay attention to the wild vocals of Claudia Wool and the jaw-dropping fuzzy bass solo, courtesy of Ed Barrella. The second highlight of the album is an Ed Wool original, entitled “If They Left Us Alone Now.” A stark piece of psych-pop balladry, the tune belonged in the Top 40. The Neil Diamond-penned “The Boy With The Green Eyes” also had hit written all over it. Their cover of “Any Way That You Want Me,” which was better known by The Troggs and The Liverpool Five, may be the best recorded version. The album closes with the nine-and-a-half minute “Funky Walk” and perfectly showcases Ed Wool’s superb guitar chops. As for this album, it was definitely Wool at their peak of creativity. Wool has become a cult classic of sorts, and can be a bit pricey on eBay. The group’s biggest asset is Wool’s smokey-voiced sister, Claudia. She belts it out on The Band’s “To Kingdom Come”, and Big Brother’s “Combination Of The Two”, and shines on “Any Way That You Want Me”, and brother Ed’s atmospheric “If They Left Us Alone Now”.
