TOAD-dreams-reissue of 1975-heavy progressive Rock-Akarma
After the release of "Tomorrow Blue", we
had to wait until 1975 for Toad's third album and unfortunately their
last. Originally released on Frog, "Dreams" is a very good album that
never got the attention it deserved, and what was supposed to be their
be
Toad's final album, Dreams was full of potential but, sadly,
languished in the wake of bigger '70s acts like Led Zeppelin and Deep
Purple. It's a shame, too, because much of what was there was the best
work of the band's career. Normally Toad brought in guest singers to
helm the vocal duties, but Dreams found powerhouse guitarist Vittorio
Vergeat (aka "Vic") on the mike for all of the album's tracks -- and the
kid was pretty darn good. Why Vergeat was so keen on handing off the
microphone to others is a mystery, since his thin and reedy voice was
tailor-made to sit perfectly in Toad's alternately heavy and pastoral
arrangements. Just give opening track "Keep on Movin'" a spin and you'll
wonder why they felt the need to pull Bens Jaeger on board for their
debut album's lead vocals. The rest of the band was in tip-top shape as
well, delivering both the hard-rockin' tracks and the acoustic ballads
with equal facility. Maybe not the finest power trio in rock history,
but certainly worthy of more than a footnote in its obscuro chapter. ~
