Brinsley Schwarz - Brinsley Schwarz [1970]



I hear you, Mr. Forest Roxx, posting that live Stones from 1972 and a Black Unity/Sabbath duo (whatta combo) from 1971. I'm tagging in for April of 1970 with this early Nick Lowe band, Brinsley Schwarz. Named after their guitarist, these fellows were early purveyors of what became known as pub rock, whatever the hell that means. I guess it means you should be drinking and smoking when you cue this up. This debut album saunters out of the gate about as California sunshine as Brits git, with CSN, Grateful Dead and Incredible String Band injections, then balances and closes out with British tokes of Yes and double shots of The Band. Baywatch probably has this on French vinyl, but if this is virgin territory for him and he isn't completely down with this, I will eat some California sunshine.
