Help Yourself - Beware The Shadow (1972)

The third album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band was a strange band in the UK folk rock scene. The reason was that they were very heavy country'n'western and gospel influenced on their debut album. Something they did not really managed to shake during the rest of their career.

There are indeed some country'n'western on Beware The Shadow too. But most of all, the music is acid folk rock with some psych rock elements.

The music is at times pretty hard rocking and this is perhaps an album too hard rocking for most folk rock fans. The band sounds like a hard rocking Jethro Tull on some of the songs. That....without the flute.

The result is a decent enough album and one to check out.
