Hailing from Detroit City, hard rockers Third Power were led by singer/guitarist Drew Abbott (later to become a longtime member of Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band), along with bassist Jem Targal and drummer Jim Craig.
Drew Abbott has seen the highs and lows of the music industry. He came onto the emerging Detroit music scene in 1967 with his band Third Power. The group released one album, “Believe,” in 1969 on the Vanguard Label. But label executives thought the album was too heavy, never gave it any promotional support and dropped the band literally days after the album was released.
The THIRD POWER was Detroit’s answer to Cream back in the late 60’s to early 70’s and in fact did a rendition of “I’m So Glad” that rivaled anything Cream did. THIRD POWER was intense sonic output, a power trio that used high output vacuum tube Traynor amps and pretty much did entirely original music. And they did it at volumetric decibles that surely contributed to hearing loss among many an aged hippie; the Who had little edge in that respect save they had a bigger PA system.
THIRD POWER was always a draw at any Detroit venue. This album is purely studio; way too produced and laden with overdubs -- impossible to duplicate live, at least with the technology available then -- it was sadly ignored and did not capture the all important FM underground radio market and most importantly, did not sell well outside of Detroit and related environs.
Seemingly light years later, a solid sought after collectible that represents an accurate accounting of the Detroit music scene along with some decent lyrics and musicianship. Should you have liked the MC-5 or The Frost, this would be the intensity of these groups amplified with a more cerebral appeal.
