CWT - The Hundredweight (1973 uk, heavy brassy bluesy rock)

CWT were an English band who recorded their only album in Hamburg, which was then released on Kuckuck.

They were one of the heaviest acts on the label, which was also known to be the home of Out Of Focus, Armageddon, Murphy Blend and Ihre Kinder.

The band was actually a hard rock trio, but for the album Hundredweight they had reinforcements in the form of Cy Payne, who was responsible for the brass arrangements. This is exactly what gives the band its unique sound.

In addition to the fantastic guitar and vocal work of Graham Jones, the brass section lends the heavy

rock with a touch of Motown soul and a heavy groove.
