Obscure band from the early seventies, that only released a single, sefl titled, LP and promply
disappeared. Fromed by seasoned and experienced musicians (who came form equally obscure bands of
the 60´s), they managed to produce quite a good album in their short lifespan. It is ok that they
had nothing original or groundbreaking on them. In fact, their sound is a lot like several other
groups of the time like Atomic Rooster, Traffic, Paladin, Cactus and the like. So, expect lots of
Hammond organ runs, fine bass and drums, blues influenced guitar lines and soul tinged vocals. It´s easy to understand why they were not very notice at the time: there were simply too many artists sounding just the same at that specific period. Some had to be left out due to poor manangement, bad luck or some other reason. And Fuzzy Duck was one of them. Which is a bit of a shame, since their sole LP was very good, with no fillers and some excellent perfomances. If you like the style, you should check this out. I enjoyed it a lot. But I should also warn to anyone that there is very little prog on here, if any. Fuzzy Duck is a songs based band that differs very little from all other many, many heavy rock bands of that era. Conclusion: good CD. Nothing exceptional, but still very well done, with strong songwriting and played by skilled musicians.In a heavy rock site Fuzzy Duck would surely deserve at least four stars. But on a prog site like PA a 3 star rating is adequate
