"DESOLATION" is the first album by CUBY and THE BLIZZARDS released in the U.K. 1968 coinciding within heights of the British blues-boom, a storming scene still reflected upon 60's years onward by record collectors gathering the greats including artists Mayall's Bluesbreakers (Clapton, Peter Green, <Mick Taylor), P. Green's Fleetwood Mac, Savoy Brown, Graham Bond Organization (Bruce & Baker pre-Cream), Chicken Shack (Christine McVie Perfect), Sam Apple Pie, The Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, Free, Black Cat Bones, Pretty Things, Groundhogs, Ten Years After, Taste, Ashkan, and so on.
The Dutch scene remembered for the sixties beat garage fuzz punkers released a slew of highly sought 45's included a bunch of Lp's including, Q'65, Livin' Blues, The Subterraneans, etc. and above all, Cuby and The Blizzards who produced several albums beginning in 1966 and on through the years.
"C+B" led by superior guitarist Eelco Gelling and vocalist Harry Muskee, released their first album "Desolation" containing reflections from the garagey Dutch beatrock era is highlighted in the lead off track "Things I Remember" complete with Yardbirds ending rave-up. Muskee's vocals were perfectly suited for the blues with raw whiskey soaked tones. Further on Cuby & The Blizzards featured burning blues masterworks, in a style they became famous for. Eelco was so efficient in expressive guitar frills, word of his exceptional guitar talents caught the attention of the Rolling Stones who offered him a spot in their line up after Brian Jones left the band; though Eelco declined the offer, the Stones settled on Mick Taylor, late of Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
"Desolation" Lp is filled by creeping smokey blues with feelings and the 'right' sound, cementing the bands world-wide reputation for years to come.
