Artista: / Banda: Country Weather
Álbum: San Francisco 1969-1971
Ano: 2014 (1969-1971)
Gênero: Psychedelic / West Coast Rock
País: EUA
Comentário: Formada em Walnut Creek, Califórnia, em 1966, esta foi uma das muitas bandas locais que emergiram na época, e apesar de participar de diversos festivais e abrirem para grandes nomes, nunca conseguiram assinar com uma gravadora para lançar seu material. Apenas EPs promocionais / demos foram gravados, tendo pouquíssimas cópias (cerca de 50). Em 2005 estas antigas gravações (em estúdio e ao vivo) saíram em compilação, tendo uma nova versão em 2014 (que posto aqui hoje).
São 15 faixas de rock psicodélico, com pitadas de west coast, garagem, hard e blues, totalizando quase 80 minutos. Variando entre momento de rock pesado e raivoso e outras baladas hippies, o grupo encontra uma consistência no som, guiado pelo excelente trabalho na guitarra de Greg Douglass, além de riffs duplos, ótimos vocais e 'cozinha' competente, salientados ainda mais nas longas jams ao vivo (nas canções que fecham o disco).
Uma ótima pérola da geração hippie da costa oeste, recomendado!
This archival collection of previously unreleased mat'l by one of my favorite psych bands is probably the only accessible source of their mat'l by most listeners. Their only other "release", if you want to call it that, was a one-sided, 5 song demo, pressed in an extremely limited quantity (20?), and is impossibly rare nowadays. 4 of the 5 tracks appeared on a comp from sometime in the 80's, but this is also quite scarce now. This 2-disc release features 1 studio side recorded in 1969, one from '71, and the other disc is live recordings from 1970. All of their mat'l is steeped in that west coast, psychedelic sound that emanated from San Fran starting in 1966, and drew to a close not long after these recordings were made. A great package, recommended to fans of the genre.
Country Weather is a psychedelic rock band from the San Francisco area and were in their heyday from 1969 to 1971. They remind one of Country Joe and the Fish or Quicksilver Messenger Service, just a bit more hickified.
The lead guitar is outstanding and the dual guitar riffs, especially on the "live" material are very decent. Too bad a mucky muck never took an interest in them. They were a solid psych rock band that could have made an impact.
