Soho Orange – Kings Of The Road (Mod) [CD]

Description

Seelie Court – the world’s premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents ‘Kings of the Road’ the album that captures Soho Orange at the peak of their short-lived career, recorded live in a Falkirk studio in 1971 under producer Jim West. These sessions reveal a band blending the thunderous riffs of Budgie with the mystique of Led Zeppelin, delivering a raw, authentic proto-metal sound. The rediscovered master tapes, over 50 years old, showcase tight musicianship, a commanding vocal performance, and songs celebrating drugs, women, and freedom. Few hard rock recordings of this era match the energy, authenticity, and edge of these sessions. With only a handful of comparable LPs produced during the early 1970s’ “Dark Age of Metal,” Kings of the Road is a rare and precious document of Scottish hard rock history, now finally available for collectors and enthusiasts.
