A
hard rock album. The
original Decca
release, in
particular, is
ultra-rare and very
sought-after by
collectors of this
genre. In fact the
album is perhaps the
most expensive major
label album of the
'progressive' era.
Their vocalist Pete
French, a South
Londoner, played with
his cousins Mick Halls
in various rock/blues
outfits like Switch
and Joe Poe before
teaming up with Bob
Brunning to form
theBrunning Sunflower
Blues Band. By 1969,
French had moved on to
Black Cat Bones and
Halls later joined
him. Then, in the
latter half of 1970,
they evolved into Leaf
Hound.
The album's name is
very misleading.
Anyone expecting an
acid rock classic from
the title and cover of
the UK release is
going to be very
disappointed. This is
driving hard rock in
the Led Zeppelin mould
which is only likely
to appeal to fans of
this genre.
Nonetheless French's
voice is raw and
strong ideally suited
to music of this type
and the album is full
of driving, incisive
guitar work from Mick
Halls and his
colleagues. This is
particularly evident
on tracks like
Drowning My Life In
Fear, Stagnant Pool,
Sad Road To The Sea
and A Minute To Go but
there are no weak cuts
on the album.
During their short
time together Leaf
Hound got to tour
Germany and their
album was licensed to
Telefunken for German
release before it was
put out in this
country. Inexplicably
the German release
omitted two cuts:-
Freelance Fiend and
the title track but it
did come with a poster
of the band.
Telefunken also issued
one of the album's
strongest tracks
Drowned My Life In
Fear on a 45 backed by
a non-LP song It's
Going To Get Better
(Telefunken U 56 154)
in a picture sleeve in
1971.
