TRAMLINE

 Tramline was a hard-rocking blues-based quartet, not too different from Free and other guitar-heavy outfits of the late '60s, and for a time even shared label affiliation with the latter band. Formed by John McCoy (vocals, harmonica), Mick Moody (guitar), Terry Sidgwick (bass, vocals), and Terry Popple (drums). Chris Blackwell plucked them from the club scene in 1968 and signed them to Island Records, whence they began work on their debut LP, Somewhere Down the Line (with Blackwell producing). The band made enough worthwhile noise to get some exposure on the BBC's Top Gear, hosted by John Peel, but the album never sold in large numbers. Island wasn't done with them, however, and in 1969 a second LP, Moves of Vegetable Centuries, was forthcoming, this time produced by the renowned Guy Stevens and emphasizing Moody's guitar in the mix. It didn't do any better than the first album, however, although one cut off the album, a cover of Traffic's "Pearly Queen," got a lot of exposure to the underground press and in prog rock circles when it earned a place on the Island sampler album You Can All Join In. The group had split by 1970, with McCoy and Sidgwick evidently leaving music behind while Moody passed through Juicy Lucy and Snafu before achieving huge success with Whitesnake; Popple tagged along for a time in Snafu, as well as working with Matthew Fisher and Alan Hull, and passed through the lineup of Radiator

 Cactus may have never amounted to anything more than a half-hearted, last-minute improvised 

supergroup, but that don't mean their eponymous 1970 debut didn't rock like a mofo. 

The already quasi-legendary Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of Bogert and Appice may have provided 

the backbone of the band's business cards, and soulful, ex-Amboy Duke Rusty Day brought 

the voice, but it was arguably former Detroit Wheels guitarist Jim McCarty who was 

the true star in the Cactus galaxy, spraying notes and shredding solos all over album 

highlights such as "You Can't Judge a Book By the Cover," "Let Me Swim," and, most notably, 

a manic, turbocharged version of "Parchman Farm." The fact that Cactus chose to tackle 

this classic blues song just a year after it'd been blasted into the fuzz-distortion stratosphere 

by Blue Cheer betrays -- at best -- a healthy competitive spirit within the early-'70s hard rock milieu, 

and at worst it suggests something of a mercenary nature to Cactus' motives, but that's 

an issue for the surviving bandmembers to duke it out over in the retirement home. 

And we digress -- for the blistering closing duo of "Oleo" and "Feel So Good" 

easily certifies the Cactus LP as one of the best hard rock albums 

of the then brand-new decade, bar none...(AllMusic)
