A little uncommon sumpin' sumpin'...
That tune 'Country Fever' from that same movie is probaby one of the heaviest tunes they ever did!
Full song without movie...
The Bomber is the tune that incorporates "cast your fate to the wind"?
In the past, besides "Walk Away" and "Funk 49", I was only familiar with the two Troiano albums, which I bought on a lark the day he died. In the last couple of years tho, I've amassed their whole catalog, and dig it greatly. Good Rock & Roll, almost all the way thru. It's nice when you get a chance to go back, and discover something that previously evaded the radar.
I really liked the first two albums, especially Rides Again, but lost interest in Thirds, when they tried to get all Sabbathy. Had they continued along the lines of The Bomber, I think they would have been great
I never heard the Troiano or Bolin LPs, but for their first two at least, the James Gang belong in the late 60s-early 70s Midwestern elite which also includes SRC, the Amboy Dukes, Frost, and the Terry Manning Band.
Saw them as a support band for the Steve Miller Band in late '69, don't recall the view, but they were pretty good, and I was not chemically enhanced.
Walk Away
