Socrates Drank the Conium - Socrates Drank the Conium (1971)

The debut album from this band from Greece.

The band was a trio on this album with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, flute and vocals.

This band started out as Socrates Drank The Conium before they did an album with Vangelis and then shortened their name to just Socrates after that and until they split up, reformed and then finally split up in 2010. Two of the three origial members died in 2019 and earlier this year.

I got their first four albums, the Socrates Drank The Conium albums, for review this winter.

The music on this album is heavy psych blues rock. 

The album starts out as a pretty standard heavy blues rock album before it turns left and gets a lot of psych and actually..... prog rock influences. 

This album is by no means a standard power trio hard rock/blues workout. This is an untraditional album.

The vocals is good and the band does a good job. 

The result is a decent album, well worth checking out.
