Sunday, time for a classic.
"Ride with Captain Max" is a tune from the debut album "Contrasts", from the South Wales progressive rockers in BLONDE ON BLONDE.
"Contrasts" was released 1969.
This Welch band has delivered an album that is exemplary of the progressive rock period. Songwriting is key to a great album and this group has certainly delivered the goods. "Ride With Captain Max" is a masterful display of guitar rock.
BLONDE ON BLONDE borrowed it's name from the title of Bob Dylan's 1966 Magnum Opus. The two artists have NO relationship though both played at the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970. "Our" BLONDE ON BLONDE disbanded in 1972.
The band was formed in Newport in 1967 by vocalist/guitarist Ralph Denyer, drummer Les Hicks, bassist/organist Richard Hopkins and guitarist/sitar player Gareth Johnson.
Enjoy today's classic.
