Hi all,
I just stumbled on this forum as I am on a quest to find an answer to a musical mystery....
I am not a major prog rock fan myself, so perhaps this is not quite the
right forum for me, but I was hoping that the collective knowledge on
this forum is able to solve this mystery....
To tell a bit more about me - I am more at home in the hardrock/metal
genre, though not so much the new stuff out there - I favour the
classics (and I am sure I am going to forget a lot of great bands here
while typing) such as Rainbow, Sabbath, early Scorps, and Thin
Lizzy.....
and this last band brings me to my question....a fellow Lizzy anorak
taped a song from the radio a long long time ago (he thinks it was
probably in the late 1960's or early 1970's) and is trying to identify
the song...
I have listened to a snippet of the recording, but don't know who it is either....I find this fragment quite catchy, so I am now really interested in finding out who this is too!
I have reposted the snippet here http://members.lycos.nl/frankk/jt/ - http://members.lycos.nl/frankk/jt/
Based on the lyrics it could be titled "Free Ride", but it is not the
Edgar Winter track (which seems to have been covered an awful lot!),
and Google&such haven't brought any new info to light, so I am
trying other avenues now, like this forum.
If anyone has any clue who this band is, please let me know!
Thanks,
Frank
