There's a lot of hating on this, presumably from Stones fans who don't listen to Bruce's solo work. This is from 1974, written with Pete Brown, and from his excellent LP 'Out of the Storm'. Taylor had his own reasons for leaving the Stones (another great band, of course), and it's a shame to let that color opinions of this music, which is coming from a different place, and has different intentions. Funny how many people presume they know better than these excellent musicians!
This must be 1969, or very early 70's, and an excursion of whimsical 'progressive rock'-it is certainly no-less ridiculous than "Genesis"-would not have sold too well one thinks, maybe for 5 minutes when the Bohemian glitterati liked it.
These songs are as brilliant as anything done with the Rolling Stones or Cream, in some cases. I'm a fan of the bands listed. People just don't hear this band as often.
Perhaps at this point in time, Taylor was just happy to get away from the drug induced scene of Richards..... As it appears to him in retrospect, I'm sure he knows it was a huge mistake to leave the Stones to pacify Bruce's ego of playing with another legendary guitarist.....!
I love the Out of the Storm album, it was the first record of Bruce/ Cream I ever bought. I love how he calls Pieces of Mind"a very strange song" in the intro to Keep it Down that follows. It is very odd, prog-blues perhaps, with bizarre lyrics. Pity Golden Days isnt on here, that's a gem.
shocking habit taylor has got reaching down to the vol / tone control all the time.. a lot of players do this and it makes NO difference at all.. its so annoying.. crap piece as well..
