Albums Of The Week: Joe Prichard & Gibraltar | Joe Prichard & Gibraltar

Treat yourself to an overlooked slice of vintage guitar-rock from this Missouri outfit.

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Very little is known about Joe Prichard or his sidekicks, except that the band, which hailed from Missouri, drew its inspiration from influences far and wide. As a result, the five tracks on this self-titled album are all very different in character — ranging from power chords and staccato guitar breaks reminiscent of Jimmy Page to the throaty sax of 12-bar blues specialists Climax and even the greasy guitar licks of ZZ Top. There’s even an epic jam a la Jethro Tull or Traffic, with flute and sax giving a decidedly jazzy feel to proceedings. This is another extremely rare record put out by RidingEasy Records.”
