Bloodrock - Passage (1972)

The fifth studio album from this band from USA.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, flutes, saxophones, harmonica and vocals.

Most of the original members had left the band but the band soldiered on for two more albums.

The change of musicians removed most of the hard rock from the band. It was replaced by some middle of the road US rock and americana.

The music has a lot of woodwinds but not enough to make this a brass rock album.

The vocals is good and the flutes is trying to emulate Jethro Tull at times. Bloodrock tries indeed to sound like them on a couple of songs. They fails.

The introduction of a track with some ELP like prog is OK.

The quality of the songs are simply not good and that makes this album barely a decent album.

I am not won over.
