This is the only album released in 1968 by ORO, a label under ESP in New York that has released many great and rare jazz albums. “All That The Name Implies’ was a hippie folk group from New York. First impression comes from the front cover, really beautiful. Musically nice male-female vocals, acoustic guitars, congas, and a faint tambourine, but the congas are actually a tricky part. The main vocalist, Nick Feva, has a great voice, and the chorus of men and women is intertwined with his vocals, floating neither too close nor too far. The temperature of the water is just right.
They released two other singles besides this album, which are included as bonuses on the CD. Of the four songs on each side of these two singles, three are alternate versions of songs from the album, but "Black Tuesday," is actually one that wasn't included on the album and this song is absolutely amazing.
Images of wilderness, the bright evening light, the sky with a gradient from ultramarine to orange as the veil of night falls. It would be nice to have a bonfire on the ground. The sound of the conga is louder than the album, and has a great effect in creating this endless world. There may be a lot of great songs that are hidden away, but for sure "Black Tuesday" is one of them. It's a great song!
