Jawbone (Rev-Ola CD)

Jawbone was a band that grew out of the likes of The Mirage (who i had heard of before) and Turquoise (who i hadn't) and played psychedelic rooty-folky-bluesy-rock which definitely should have gained a much bigger audience though Jawbone only released the one album.

This then is that album from 1970 and includes their version of "Across the universe" which is brilliant, up there with the Family Cat's version in my opinion. "Jeremiah Dreams" is a new version of The Mirage's epic "Ebaneezer Beaver" and one of the best psychedelic songs you'll ever hear.

The cover of the album is truly superb and (despite) the quality of the music is the true star. A girl talking to a fish while some kind of minstrel lies at her feet. Mind bending-tastic.
