Crimson Bridge


Crimson Bridge Myrrh 1972
Latin rock jazz progressive fuzz acid folk oughta describe this. Don't know who was running Myrrh in 1972 but they score an authentic winner with this horn-based band. Vocals remind greatly of David Clayton Thomas and arrangements of Blood Sweat & Tears - a huge band at the time of this album. Not much band info. Gary Rand - composer of the ambitious side-long 'Suite In Three Parts' - will surface with an album of worship choruses in the 80's. Touches of scatting Swingle Singers, Elton John, Santana, and Broadway are in here. Much better than most major label stuff and not too hard to find. Awful cover. A favorite from a major label. BF

Crimson Bridge also had a 45 out; Livin' In The Love O' The Lord/Now Is The Time; Inn Records (INN-7101). No year of release or copyright on it.
