Springwater (1971) I Will Return LOST 70s GEMS

A sonic journey, this guitar instrumental mixes some cyborg guitar twangs with some ancient church organ chords, the organ hangs over the whole piece , as the guitar slides around like Lap Steel in outer space mode. The slight fuzz tone and the pinging sustains create a Sci-Fi effect while drum bashes away in the background; there are actually two guitar lines, a more complex shredding guitar much lower in the mix adds t the unique composition. The sliding guitar tone sounds doubled like a harmony, it almost cries like a swan song it is incredibly emotive whine backed with the organ and drums for a very early 'power ballad' sound. The meowing, crying slide guitars would also make an appearance in the famous Derek and the Dominoes hit Layla from the same year so who knows where this influence may have lead..
