A "NICE" example of a TOP CLEAN 1968 FUZZ GUITAR HEAVY GARAGE PSYCH ALBUM
Hard to find original 1968 first pressing VINYL of the first album by the Los Angeles California hard guitar garage psych trio, THE HOOK ...
If you dig the sounds of CREAM meets the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, check into "Will Grab You" as these cats turn on the power fuzz guitar into cool psych heaviness...overloaded with Eric Clapton & Jimi styles, sometimes even directly "borrowed" solos built into their own works -- whatever, sounds great... this is Bobby Arlin, the ex-LEAVES guitarist, really cutting loooose!
This sounds along the lines of "Are You Experienced?" meets "Diraeli Gears"... THE HOOK "Will Grab You" is consistently heavy, in a very consistently early Hendrix kind of way. Nice. The fuzz sounds a lot cleaner than Blue Cheer's debut. This is a very under-rated album, although collectors have caught on ~ beware of the last minute sniper on this one, several cats really want this album!
The only way anybody might not like this is if they don't care for heaviness, and/or they put a high priority on vocals/lyrics. Sure, there are some crazy "flower power" lyrics (it's hard to pay attention with all that heavy fuzz guitar), and the vocals often have a sarcastic/joking intonation, but that really has nothing to do with the appeal of the heavy rock displayed...
