Raven: Going Back To Ohio Blues 1975 (Owl) & 1994 (Rockadelic)

There are at least 3 or 4 groups that were around in the late 60s & 70s that went by the name Raven. The "Raven" that is mentioned here is going to be the "Raven" of greatest interest to fans of completely damaged & WASTED Heavy Rock. There are few other albums that I am personally aware of that carry the blazing torch of the US rebel Biker Underground the way this incredible recording does. This is not just some party till ya puke, died in the hemp woven wool, Basement Hard Rock Psych tinged effort. This is a true badge of Heavy Psych that mirrors the clubhouse interior, and the territory exterior, of the last of the electric cowboy's & their vigilante code of outlaw justice. Just as you would expect it should be from these highly dosed subculture mercenaries of blown Biker wisdom. The music consists of long bluesy drug influenced guitar/bass/drum oriented depravity in song, with wasted vocal frontage. No CD reissue at this time.
