MASON - Harbour (1971 US Hard Rock Prog Bluesy)

BOM DISCO DE HARD ROCK COM ALGUNS LAMPEJOS PROGRESSIVOS E BLUESY!! GREAT ALBUM HEAVY ROCK!! BANDA AMERICANA DA VIRGINIA!! NA VERDADE ERA UM POWER TRIO ALTAMENTE COMPETENTE QUE FAZIA UM ROCK REGADO A UM PODEROSO ORGAN E TAMBÉM SAX E FLAUTA!! SÓ POSSO DIZER QUE É RARO E O SOM UM VENENO MUITO LOUCO!! ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO PRA QUEM CURTIA DEEP PURPLE OU JETHRO TULL E PRA QUEM NÃO CURTIA NENHUM DELES TAMBÉM!!!

This hard rock album from 1971 by a Virginia trio has one great standout track: the acoustic guitar driven "Golden Sails", performed entirely by Jim Gaylon and sounding quite similar to Jethro Tull. This song alone is worth the price of admission! Other standouts include the organ-powered, heavy rock of "Let It Burn" (complete with bluesy vocals and great flute and organ solos) and the long, lumbering title track "Harbour". 

There aren't many weak moments musically. Fans of heavy rock with booming bass, drums, and organ will find a lot of meat on this one. Lovers of early Jethro Tull and heavy organ bands (like Deep Purple) could very well get into this. Includes two unreleased bonus tracks, with "One More Drink" (clocking in at 39 seconds) being another acoustic ballad reminiscent of Ian Anderson. Informative liner notes. Another hard rock rarity available at last.

Being from Virginia, I find it shocking that an album I thought of as a relatively local rarity, has made some waves internationally. It is not a fantastic album by any means, but an interesting one. I wish that I still had my original vinyl copy on Eleventh Hour Records. Quite ambitiously, this album came with a booklet with different photos of the band much like a concert program, which is surprising for a small record company and one that deviated somewhat from what was printed on the album jacket and what was printed on the label (some incorrect song titles and side one was marked side two and vice versa).
