Glory - A Meat Music Sampler (1968 us, dazzling blues folk psych rock, 2000 hard sleeve edition)



Rare 1969 album on the Texas Revolution label, recorded by a project featuring producer, vocalist and percussionist Linden Hudson. The LP was the result of long jam sessions. Most notable ingredient arguably is the acid guitar of Ted Hawley, showcasing a blues vibe that reminds of Moving Sidewalk-era Billy Gibbons. 'A Meat Music Sampler' rates as one of the best kept secrets of late '60s/early '70s US underground rock.
