Jeronimo (1971) Understanding‏

Jeronimo featured a strong Zeppelin sound with thunderous drums and thickly distorted crunch whilst adding progressive rhythms to the mix. One song on their self titled 1971 record, Haguilda, is a rapturous drum solo showcase heavy on the tom toms and mallets fulfilling the Native American spirit their name suggested (not to mention it includes a brief trumpet interlude). Though despite that track their album generally suffers from sounding all too samey like one big long jam with no real change in mood or expression; though I'm sure live they were fire. Often to get some airplay and a following heavy bands would cut commercial friendly singles that did not reflect the bands tastes.The best track is the jaunty acoustic, clear-attempt-at-a-single called Understanding, with it''s repeated verses being a message that 'Understanding is a hard thing to find' Amen to that!
