Title: Red Card
Review: I place this album firmly with Pavlov's Dog's first release as a real overlooked rock and roll classic. Part of it has to do, for me, with the fact that they were released almost simultaneously, some with the presence of eccentric vocalists in both bands. In any case, I heard "Red Card" in '76 with no familiarity with Familiy and found it to be an extremely unique and blistering combination of RnB, garage rock, and fiercely original music. The driving "Run For Cover" sounds like nothing I've ever heard before, pulsing and cinematic and brutal all at the same time. "Daddy Rolling Stone" shows everyone how they should cover blues classics, and "Me an Me Horse an Me Rum" nods like a junky on a street corner while maintaining its drive and energy.Again, there's probably better stuff, and my memories are colored by nostalgia for my freshman year of college, but "Red card' is a pretty fair release that sounds unlike anything else that came out of the year 1976...
