RARE... TOP COPY!!!

 ....Original 1972 first pressing in cool laminated gatefold cover filled with band photos of the legendary longhair Dutch underground blues rockers... Rockin' At The Tweed Mill is just that, the LIVIN' BLUES stretch out and blaze....

This was the first Livin' Blues album not to be produced by ex-Golden Earring drummer Jaap Eggermont and was instead produced by Englishman Mike Vernon, who had experience producing other blues rock groups such as John John Mayall, Ten Years After and Fleetwood Mac not to mention heading the Blue Horizon label.... Rockin' At The Tweed Mill was recorded at his studio in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire England (the album cover shows the band in front of the Bliss Tweed Mill in Chipping Norton, UK) from late October to early November 1972 and released before the end of the year. Unfortunately, at this point is when the band would start to grow apart due to constant line-up changes (they would have a different drummer almost every year!) and with the departure of the latest drummer, Johnny Le Jeune, before recording this album, they found it more difficult to write new original material.

"Rockin' at the Tweed Mill" is more or less a continuation from Bamboozle but you can see other elements creeping in here but there's no lack of energy on this album. In many ways it's even more bluesy than their previous albums. It starts out slow and brooding with "Ain't No Use Crying" and then comes the stomping and driving "Diving Duck Blues", written by Mississippi Fred McDowell and absolutely owned by the band here. Following are more of the same including "Please Don't Leave Me", released as a single, and a bunch of excellent blues originals ("You're a Stranger"). No matter working the blues classics or original compositions, the Livin' Blues don't let anything affect the quality of their work, turning out an album just as strong as any before. John Lagrand's epic harmonica work and Ted Oberg's guitar prowess are highlights of most of the songs not to mention Nicko Christiansen's powerful vocal delivery. One to dig - one to own....
