Medicine Head (1971) And the Pictures in the Sky‏

Built around the duo of guitarist drummer John Fiddler' and Peter Hope Evans' harmonica and Jewish harp whilst also using studio musicians,  Medicine Head come off like a blues rock Steely Dan or a 70s Black Keys. Starting with an oddly compressed kick drum beat before the standard rock n roll guitars come in. The laidback hummed vocal melody and post hippie haze made this a simple hit in the early 70s sounding a bit like T Rex stripped of the glam vocals and thick orchestra.
