Pérola obscura vinda dos Estados Unidos, The Havenstock River Band foi formado no início dos anos 70 como banda de apoio do cantor Glenn Yarbrough, com o qual lançaram um disco de 71. Já "independente" o quinteto lançou um único e raro LP, até hoje sem reedições. Pouco mais se sabe sobre o grupo.
O álbum homônimo de 1972 traz 12 faixas curtas de country rock típico dos anos 70, com pegadas de hard, blues/ boogie rock e algumas bonitas baladas. Guitarras pesadas ao estilo "rural" dominando com presença de piano, harmônica e até violino são destaque no instrumental, o vocal também não decepciona, com bons momentos de coro. Para as faixas, destaque em "Dog", "Love What I Got" e "I've Only Got a Nickel".
Nada de essencial, mas uma boa pedida para fãs de country ou southern rock.

The Havenstock River Band was an obscure american band formed in the early 70s as a support band of singer Glenn Yarbrough. In 1972 they launched their only and rare LP until today without reissues. Little else is known about the group.
The self-titled album features 12 short tracks of typical country rock of the 70s, with hard, blues / boogie rock touches and some beautiful ballads. Heavy guitars on "rural" style with presence of piano, harmonica and violin are featured in instrumental, vocal also does not disappoint, with good moments of chorus. For the tracks, best are "Dog", "Love What I Got" and "I've Only Got a Nickel". Nothing essential, but a good one for fans of country and southern rock.
