Ross -  Ross - 1974

Guitarist Alan Ross played on 2 of John Entwistle's solo albums in the early 70's, "Whistle Rhymes" and "Rigor Mortis Sets In". He was also part of Entwistle's touring band during that period. In 1973, he played guitar on Tim Hardin's album "Painted Head". That same year, he formed a band called Ro-Ro with bass player Warwick Rose and they released an album called "Meet At The Water" on the Regal Zonophone label. By 1974, he formed the group "Ross" with former Indian Summer keyboard player Bob Jackson. The band's career seemed to take off when they landed themselves a contract with RSO Records. 

They recorded 2 brilliant albums for the label, "Ross" and "The Pit And The Pendulum", released in 1974 and 1975. Eric Clapton, who was also an RSO artist toured the USA in 1974 and the Ross band was on the same bill. The band disbanded after two albums. In 1976, he appeared on the band Stars' self titled album. He released another 2 albums in 1977 and 1978, "Are You Free On Saturday" and "Restless Nights", this time for a small British label, Ebony Records under the name Alan Ross Band.

RO RO - Meet At The Water (REPOST)

RO RO - Meet At The Water - 1972

Não existe muita coisa quando pesquisamos sobre a RO RO, a não ser que ela foi formada pelo guitarrista Alan Ross e pelo baixista Warwick Rose.

Pouco além de que a RO RO é anterior à banda Ross e existiu somente por um único e especial disco e teve, segundo li pela net, a produção do Tony McPhee.

Pra quem conhece os dois discos da Ross - um cult com o advento da internet - e os dois álbuns solos  que o guitarrista Alex Ross gravou após a debandada daquela banda, dizer que aquele prima pela qualidade é o mesmo que tocar um rock de um nota só (se bem que rock de uma nota só atende pelo nome de punk).

A cópia aqui disponibilizada vem de um EXCELENTE ripagem de vinil (que não fui eu quem fiz). É uma pena que eu (ainda) não tenha em CD, relançado junto com toda a obra correlata naquele maravilhoso formato japonês.

Leia alguma coisa sobre a genialidade do Alan Ross AQUI .

Bom, o que era raridade até agora tá aqui. Altamente recomendado pra quem quiser um som nota 10.
