MIGHTY BABY

MIGHTY BABY were a five piece band out of London, England and this is their debut from 1969. This band arose out of the ashes of THE ACTION and the debut here I would describe as psychedelic with some folky flavours. The keyboardist by the way adds sax and flute.

"Egyptian Tomb" the opener and "House Without Windows" are the two outstanding tracks for me, liking both from the first spin. The opener especially with those sax leads and uplifting sound just sounds amazing. Gotta love the acid guitar leads on this album as well, I'm not as into the piano but check out the organ on the closer that is quite upfront and just floats on and on. Cool song and a top five.

"Same Way From The Sun" is another top five and the most psychedelic and uplifting track on here. "A Friend You Know But Never See" rounds out my top five. The three I'm not that into yet even with each of these songs there's sections I'm impressed with making this a four star record for sure. But "I've Been Down So Long", "Trials Of A City" and "I'm From The Country" are those three with a country/folk vibe on each yet as I said so much more than that. I understand they went more into the direction of these three songs on their next and last album "Jug Of Love".

Despite the odd band name I'm very happy to include this in my Psychedelic section. I will check out their other record down the road hopefully. This one is a keeper.
