Hall and Oates (1977) Winged Bull - LOST 70s GEMS

 From the underrated hard rock, eastern folk tinged Beauty on Back Street, at a time in their career when arena rock was their focus; a bridge between the soulful 70s successes and the 80s new wave pop mega stardom.

Here the folk whimsy, pop rock guitars and minimal cowbell drum arrangement combine with a heavy echo drenched vocal and eastern strings to create an odd Zeppelin vibe. The insistent hard rock riffing of around the 2:10 marker is a Kashmir rip off pure and simple, however a lot of this album features remarkable songwriting if a lot of intrusive production from a producer they not surprisingly didn't get along with. The hypnotic, ethnic folk vibe is interesting with the Latin percussion at the end and the droning of the entire track sadly it is material best suited to another artists, sorry guys.
