LUCIFERS FRIEND
Rock & Roll Singer
\ USA - Billingsgate Records - BG 1008
1974 original first pressing ...***STILL SEALED*** never opened in 36 years!
A German outfit fronted by a wailing British singer, Lucifer's Friend first gained minor notoriety, and later major cult status, as both early practitioners of heavy metal and progressive rock. Formed in 1970 Hamburg, by former German Bonds members Peter Hesslein (guitar), Peter Hecht (keyboards), Dieter Horns (bass), and Joachim Rietenbach (drums), the group was initially called Asterix (they made a rare album) and recorded an entire album's worth of material before connecting with singer John Lawton, whose then band, Stonewall (they also made a rare album) ...
By 1974 LUCIFERS FRIEND were well on their way with fans in Great Britain, Europe & The USA ...
This album is excellent. Don't worry about the title, the content has a lot of progressive hardrock music. "Grooving Stone" and "Closed Curtains" is are straight hard rock tracks. Both are excellent. "Closed Curtains" has a blues rock influence and excellent guitar sound at the end of the track.
"Born on the Run" is a prog music with jazz and blues influence in its music. If you have a chance to listen to this track, observe the beauty of bass guitar sound excellently played by Dieter Horns. He is one of the best bass players in the world! The other interesting thing of this track is the guitar sound at the background while Lawton is singing. It's cool .
"Blind Freedom" is completely a progressive-rock track. It has a very beautiful melody and sung perfectly by Lawton with great backing vocals as well. Again, you may observe Dieter Horns bass playing that "walks the melody". The addition of flute-like keyboard sound at background has enriched this composition. This track is also heavily influenced by complex structures.
"Rock 'N' Roll Singer" is a straight ahead rocker. "Lonely City Days" is a slow tempo track with a nice acoustic guitar and great lead guitar at the end of the track. In "Mary's Breakdown" you may observe how guitar and bass played nicely. Observe also how Lawton sings in higher tone. It's a medium tempo kind of music but it's nice. The album concludes with "Song for Louie" that has keyboards intro and strong vocals by the power voice of John Lawton..
