Love this band. Reminds me of my JR. High Days. My best friends older sister had this album and we wore it out while she was away partying! Betty Johnson....you rock!
Thanks for the uploads, I listen to them with my klipsh 5 to 1 speakers and you would not believe how awsome these guys sound. I had the cops beating on my door telling me to turn it down! I my opinon really no other band can hold a candle to them.
Dig that muddy Terry Knight production! I love the way you can hear the slide of the guitar up the neck between phrases in the chorus: "GIRL, PLEASE BELIEVE ME--WOOSH!--i WOULDN'T CHEAT OWN YEW--WOOSH!"
Great song. Commercial radio sucks, figured that out about 25 years ago. Some college stations have much better programming, that's where I have heard only recently songs by the likes of Bloodrock, Blue Cheer, Uriah Heep, UFO, etc.
WHATS UP WORLD...THANK GOD FOR THE 70,S AND BAND OUT OF FT.WORTH TEXAS THAT WAS AHEAD OF ALL BY LIGHT YEARS....HERES THE THE TRUTH MAN WITH OUT YOUR SOUND WE WOULD NOT ALL BE HERE IN THIS MODE.....THANK YOU BLOODROCK GREAT SHOWS WITH OPENING FOR GRAND FUNK...HEALTH AND PRAYERS TO EACH AND EVRYONE OF YOU....(TEXAS AND PROUD OF IT) YOU GUYS WERE THE START OF IT ALL !!!!!!!AND WE ARE STILL GROVIN TO YOUR SUPER SOUNDS ....(THANK YOU) OLD ROCKER !!!! SAN ANTONIO TEXAS ..THANK YOU YOUTUBE (GREAT)
Bloodrock, I think, I was 16, maybe 17, years young haha, it was the first concert, I had ever been to see, it was in Odessa, Texas, at the Ector County Coliseum, it was GREAT, aww memories............
I heard this song yesterday on Deep Tracks, have not heard this song in over twenty five years. I knew what it was right off the bat.. Stll know every drum
Boy does this bring back some memories! I was in my teens, probably junior high, when this album came out. I'm like knickd1979 up there, the classic rock stations should throw in some of these "lost" tunes once in awhile instead of the same ol' same ol' (nothin against those though!) ;-)
truly great song. to me it has a summery road trip feel and sounds great by the campfire too. there are so so so many forgotten rock gems like this out there man!!! why don't more rock stations play this song every once in awhile instead of hearing the same damn "classics" all the time. seriously, how many times u heard "more than a feeling" or "sweet home alabama" or "walk this way" this past year??? its all played out while greats like this remain buried in the archives worthy of the airwaves
@knickd1979 My record collection is filled with bands like these.I guess if you wern't suckin the radio programmer's dick or giving him "blow" your bands didn't get played. Just like today,.Ton's of killer metal bands from Europe that sound like 80's metal but you never hear them, Even on Sirius.There is a whole movement going on but you would never know it judging by the crap they play on today's station's.For the last 20 years I only listen to the radio for Howard and for the N.F.L. network.
@knickd1979 I have to agree with you there my friend, why can't they play some of this on the radio? I drive a truck and have SIRIUS radio and they never hear this on there either! I think I'll go to their web site and start requesting Bloodrock!
Lee Pickens is one of the most underated guitarists of all-time. To be under-rated, you have to be at least noticed, he unfortunately wasn't. Truly great!!
it's so weird. I'm 34 years old and this is one of my favorite songs ever. Slim Pickens rips it. everytime I heard this song, it makes me think of my father. and then the tears come....
@scratchwhiplash It's a damn shame you can't even have a memory without some know it all treading all over it. I wasn't even born when this came out. I heard my father call him Slim Pickens, that's all I know. In the end, it doesn't matter if it was nose pickens. If I'm wrong, who gives a shit. I love my father and this song. Damnit.
@MrVicodin2005 Relax. I'm not treading on anyone's memories. I merely found it humorous that you referred to him as Slim Pickens, as he is a real person. If you know who the real Slim Pickens is and picture him jamming with Bloodrock, then you would see where I'm coming from. Again, sorry about your dad. May he rest in peace.
From photos it looks like Pickens used a '56 Les Paul gold top. From the sound it's obvious he had the pickup switch in the treble position. He also used the trick of having his wah-wah peddle in the 3/4 off position giving an unusual, but identifiable, sound used by many guitarists of that era. Amp sounds very Fender-ish.
Saw these guys in Little Rock, Arkansas with Steppenwolf.......1971. Pickens used a Les Paul. I named my daughter "Jessica" so you know how I loved this band.
I'm 34 years old and I've heard my father jam on Bloodrock for as long as i can remember. Damn, I wasn't even born when this came out, but it rocks. I love ya dad.
Another great Bloodrock tune! The bass on this is so strong my speaker on the left has a fit! I play this on bass. ck my 1st youtubevid of Jessica on bass with the stereo!
hell yeah
