Hootch (1974) Golden Valley
A trippy anthem with some raw funky waka waka guitar strum from a hard driving RnB act from Wisconsim. Described as a one time thing it is far from a complete album but has some nice exploration of African drumming on one track and arabesque guitar licks on another sought like UK band Kaleidoscope. But low on vocals means this feels like an unfinished album at 32 minutes in full length. Even Golden Valley features sparse lyrics though the track Blue Bird is brilliant at dynamics where a howling vocal is contrasted with a progression of gentle guitar strums.
