SMOOTH BALL
\ USA - Liberty Records - LST 7605
ORIGINAL 1969 first pressing vinyl in thick gatefold cover...the 2nd and best TIME album...the Los Angeles band delivers a powerhouse psych/hardrock mix with great gushing organ & fuzz guitar within cool original tunes, the sound we look for...
contains the original 1969 Liberty printed inner sleeve
With Smooth Ball, T.I.M.E. became more ambitious with longer songs, less straightforward pop than their first album, and an overall heavier sound. Lead guitar plays a much larger role with frequent acid lead guitar by William Richardson and Larry Byrom prominently mixed. New bassist Richard Tepp also adds to the heavier sound of Smooth Ball. The connection to Steppenwolf becomes more apparent on this record as well, with occasional "Magic Carpet Ride"-esque organ.
The twin guitars of William Richardson and Larry Byrom(pre-Steppenwolf) are center stage on "Smooth Ball" and the result is quite pleasing to the ear.The centerpiece of "Smooth Ball" is the 10 minute tour-de-force "Morning Come" featuring Byrom's fuzzed-up guitar theatrics at his finest. Their blues influence is evident on tracks like "Lazy Day blues", while "See Me As I Am", "Trust In Men Everywhere" and "Flowers" are examples of their attempts to get to grips with the predominant psychedelic influences of the time.
