Plenty hard to find alright... sought after...thee original release from 1970, Women and Children First is the one and only album by Ancient Grease (actually a moniker for a Welsh band named Strawberry Dust). The band key members Morty and Graham Williams, was embraced by John Weathers (at the time drummer for Eyes of Blues but more familiar for his later duties as a Gentle Giant member), who produced the album and supplied much of the material.
The album opens with two basic yet fluent blues rock numbers: Hints of The Doors can be found on "Freedom Train," which also ends with classic rocker screams , inspired by Robert Plant wails, while "Don’t Want" borrows early Led Zeppelin as well as the guitar wizardry of Hendrix.
A more distinctive voice soon emerges with the reflective ballad "Odd Song," which is entwined with keyboards ranging from dramatic to playful. The following material blends proto prog, blues rock and psychedelia, influenced by a wide scope of ‘60s bands (or in other words, reflecting its time and era), such as the original (MK1) Deep Purple (check out the majestic vibe of "Eagle Song" and the driving organ playing on the title track) and Cream (the vigorous "Mother Grease the Cat" and "Prelude to a Blind Man").

Morty Williams is an expressive, passionate vocalist, and Graham Williams is a guitarist who never seem to run out of ideas, freshening even the weariest chord patterns. Racing Cars fans should, therefore, jump at the opportunity to listen to both in this raw, looser and bluesier setting. The ardent bass (by one Jack Bass) keeps pounding to Graham Williams' tasty licks, escorting him perfectly when needed while at other times picking up the riffs from Williams, allowing the guitarist to burst with fast, searing solos.
