DUST
At the dawn of the '70s, hard rock and early heavy metal were almost completely dominated by British innovators.
Dust was one of the few American bands to try picking up the gauntlet, playing a progressive brand of proto-metal that was explicitly
indebted to their British contemporaries. Formed around 1968, the group featured vocalist/guitarist Richie Wise and the teenaged
rhythm section of bassist Kenny Aaronson (who also doubled on slide and steel guitars) and drummer Marc Bell; plus, Kenny Kerner
served as the group's lyricist, manager, and producer. Dust released their self-titled debut album in 1971 on Neil Bogart's pre-Casablanca
label Kama Sutra. The follow-up, 1972's Hard Attack, sharpened the band's edge and intensified the power of their approach;
thus, it became the more sought-after of the pair by collectors interested in the roots of American metal. However, Dust would record
only those two albums; Aaronson joined Stories in 1973, and Wise and Kerner became a production team, also working with Stories;
the following year, they would go on to helm the first two Kiss albums. Aaronson, meanwhile, became a prolific session bassist and
Bell later became part of the New York punk scene, joining up with Richard Hell & the Voidoids
and then moving on to the Ramones (adopting the name Marky Ramone).

The first album from Dust is interesting on many levels. The rhythm section featured drummer Marc Bell, who would later join New York
punk rockers Richard Hell & the Voidoids, while bassist Kenny Aaronson would sign on with labelmate Stories on the group's third album,
as Ian Lloyd moved from bass/vocals to complete frontman. The songwriting team of producer Kenny Kerner and singer/guitarist Richie Wise
would go on to produce the third Stories album, making this Dust debut and its follow-up an important piece of the Stories puzzle.
"Stone Woman," with its shimmering slide guitar work from Aaronson, would've fit perfectly on a Leslie West record. What Dust was all
about is kind of difficult to get a handle on. A hard rock band for sure, and certainly spirited; the listener has to wonder if the group is
successful when progressive, or if things might be better served by staying on the straight and narrow. "Chasin' Ladies" sports a real cool
riff and pretty eerie vocal by Wise, while the one song contributed by Aaronson, "Loose Goose,"
becomes an endless jam. Interesting stuff worth hearing...(AllMusic)
