RARE mid 70's original first pressing (in thick textured cover) of a killer rated hardrock collectible... a solid album led by the hard psychedelic guitar theatrics of Walter Rossi, that will remind more than a few of Jimi Hendrix....

Charlee is: Walter Rossi: Guitar and vocals
George Gardos: Bass
Mike Driscoll: Drums

Before forming this great band, Canadian guitar wizzard 'Walter Rossi' had cut his teeth in the late 60s with some pretty big names like, 'Wilson Picket', and 'The Buddy Miles Express', where he contributed lead guitar to Buddy's original version of 'Them Changes' (the song). He even turned down offers from 'Three Dog Night' and 'Janis Joplin'.
Walter also had the pleasure of jamming with Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles during their 'Band of Gypsies' days.

Then back in Canada, Walter co-founded the progressive/psych rock band 'Influence' in 1968/69. After being signed by ABC records, they went on tour opening for 'The Doors', and 'Steppenwolf'.
In 1971 Walter Rossi formed 'Charlee' and After you hear this album, you'll see why he was so sought after! This is heavy guitar psych-rock at it's very best!

The first song on side two was 'Let's Keep Silent'(part 1), with it's Hendrix laden guitar feedback, wah wah, and tight rhythm section, is too much to be true! Then when the song fades out and the telephone starts to ring (on the album), you'd swear it was your own phone ringing! This lost, virtually unheard album from the early 7o's is absolutely amazing and essential to anyone interested in heavy guitar psych. It ranks up there with the best of the style. And more... From one song to the next it just gets better and better. That opening salvo we speak of above sets the mood of the album building to a searing climax. The guitar howls through it's effects and solos almost nonstop in a blues based showcase of diversity, restraint and tastefulness. The next song has Walter Rossi dropping one of the most viscerally powerful riffs in the history of rock. It has to be heard to be fathomed. Next up, a power ballad that absolutely screams and howls...and more. There's so much more. Unbelievable.

This might sound all kinda vague but this one and only album by Charlee is a stone dead classic and one of the best examples of 70's heavy guitar psych rock you will ever hear, so we highly recommend it!
