Crosscut Saw - Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know (Private Press US Acid Rock 1974)



Size: 70.2 MB
Bitrate: 256
mp3
Ripped By: ChrisGoesRock
Artwork Included

A wild Florida acid blues-rock outfit with raw vocals and good guitar leads. 

Almost completely unknown, Private pressed album but with a powerful sound that deserves rediscovery! Florida natives Crosscut Saw recorded one rare album for the independent Surprise label in 1975, which had never been digitally remastered until now! Pat Ramsey, vocals and harmonica, cut his teeth in the court of 'His Majesty' Johnny Winter, playing with him both live and on several albums. 


He is the real deal and amazes both for his technical ability and style - harmonica lovers be warned! Julien Kasper could be called a kind of Eddie Van Halen of the blues, not only for his talent and speed but also for his impeccable style. 

If you need proof just listen to the slow burning "Dead Shrimp Blues". This album is a concentrate of high voltage blues and boogie rock, and will surely appear to fans of Groundhogs, Killing Floor, Nighthawks, Taste and Johnny Winter... "Allergic To Work" is an unforgettable track!

What a small world. I lived in Florida back then and saw these guys play all over the place. Knew them well enough to burn one with them at gigs.

I can't wait to hear this. Thanks a million.
