BARBED WIRE SANDWICH

BLACK CAT BONES were a blues-prog rock group from London founded in the late '60s by Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke (drums) both who would leave after recording this album and form the band "Free". BLACK CAT BONES also had the talents of Rod Price (lead guitar) who also would later go on to play in Foghat. "Barbed Wire Sandwich" was released originally on Decca's progressive label NOVA and represents a wonderfully blues driven progressive rock album. Considering there are 3 guitarists on the album this recording is bubbling over with 6 stringed contributions. Vocals are strong with Rod Price's convincing deep accents and warm guttural soul. The album is actually very reminiscent of CREAM's "Disraeli Gears" with driving guitar bass and drum interplay and that certain rawness. Overall album is superbly crafted with some great songs and instrumentation. I love this album to death...!
