A hard rock album. The original Decca release, in particular, is ultra-rare and very sought after by collectors of this genre. In fact The album is perhaps The most expensive major label albumofThe 'progressive' era.
Their vocalist PETE French, A South Londoner, played withHIS cousins Mick Halls in various rock/blues outfits like Switch and Joe Poe before teaming up with Bob BrunningTo form theBrunning Sunflower Bluesband . By 1969, French had moved On ToBLACK CAT BONES and Halls later joined him. Then, in The latter half of 1970, they evolved intoLEAF HOUND .
The album's name is very misleading. Anyone expecting an acid rock classic From The title and coverofThe UK release is goingTo be very disappointed. This is driving hard rock in The Led Zeppelin mold which is only likely To appealTo fansof this genre. Nevertheless French's voice is raw and strong ideally suited To MUSICof this type andThe album is fullof driving, incisive guitar workFrom Mick Halls andHIS Colleagues. This is particularly evident On tracks like Drowning My LIFE In Fear, Stagnant Pool, SadroadToThe Sea andA minuteTo Go but there are no weak cutsOn The album.
During their short Time together LEAF HOUND gotToTour Germany and their album was licensedTo TelefunkenFOR German release before it was put out in this country. Inexplicably The German release omitted Two cuts:- Freelance Fiend andThe title track but it did come withAPosterofTheband . Telefunken also issued One ofThe album's strongest tracks Drowned MyLIFE In FearOnA 45 backed byA non-LP song It's GoingTo Get Better (Telefunken U 56 154) in A picture sleeve in 1971.
