However, Ballad of a Has Been Beauty Queen is our gem for today and is a ten minute starting rocker, beginning with a Native American beat and ear splitting, blues guitar before devolving into a quiet, slow ballad. It eventually returns to its most galvanising organ and guitar based coda book ending the track in lopsided fashion

Brinsley Schwarz (1970) Ballad of a Has Been Beauty Queen- LOST 70s GEMS
From Brinsley's interestingly CSN inspired debut album, moored somewhere between a British and American sound, between the 60s and the 70s, between country rock and hard rock. First off Hymn to Me has it's CSN harmony laden vocal lines and swinging slide guitars, Shining Brightly bears a rocking harmony vocal hits you right away. The band does overdo the harmonies on the 7 minute track, Lady Constant which is an accurate name as the vocals do outstay their welcome. Finally What Do You Suggest and Mayfly feature inspired late 60s hippy blue rock, full of gospel, feel good rock and life lesson lyricism.
