GUNS & BUTTER - Guns & Butter - SWE Flawed Gems - LISTEN - VERY RARE

The first time on CD! I must admit that I have been a fan of this album for some 10 years! Released in 1972 by Atlantic/Cotillion and recorded in Canada, it is the only LP by an American progressive group that smuggled very catchy elements of traditional Jewish music into its work. At times full of mood changes and often very driving, Guns & Butter's music sounds like an early, more lyrical Kansas (violin), although comparisons to early Jethro Tull (a lot of flute) or Wolf would not be unfounded either. Overall it is wonderful playing and, frankly, an album unlike any other. How come nobody released it earlier? Thank you, Swedes! A MUST! (JL)
