Hemlock
1973 Deram  (UK) / 2004 Walhalla Records

[422x281]

• Группа одного альбома. Но альбома достаточно интересного. Из 4-х музыкантов, принимавших в этом проекте участие, наибольшего внимания заслуживает гитарист, вокалист и автор почти всего материала некто Miller Anderson, засветившийся и до и после этой банды в таких командах как: Fat Mattress, Dog Soldier, The Keef Hartley Band, Savoy Brown. Здесь у него очень проникновенный вокал, да и в целом альбом удался.

 • The band's best-known member was Miller Anderson who, apart from recording a solo album back in 1971, was also in The Voice, At Last The 1958 Rock'n'Roll Show,  Keef Hartley Band (all pre-Hemlock) and Dog Soldier (1975). He now lives in Shoreham-By-Sea and has been performing regularly with Spencer Davis Group as well as recently guesting on a Jon Lord solo album, "Pictured Within".
More or less a vehicle for Anderson's songwriting output (he wrote all of the album's material), Hemlock sounds by no means artificial or put-together. Rather, they were a typical British blues act, without the requisite posing. Naturally, the atmosphere is very serious and dominated by Mick Weaver's passionate organ-playing.

  Personnel:
• Miller Anderson - guitar, vocals
• Eric Dillon - drums
• Peter Dines - keyboards, guitar, vocals
• Jim Leverton - bass, vocals
• Chris Mercer - sax
• Blue Weaver - keyboards, percussion
• Pete Willsher - steel guitar
