Blessed End - Movin' On (1971)

I know I've been away for a while, walk it off you crybabies.
To make assistance for crybaby walking, here is downer organ psych gem. This record came out around about the time Jim Morrison died, and I'd say The Doors + the cold embrace of the grave is a pretty good formula for describing this record. Far less pretentious and flamboyant than Morrison and co, this has a gritty real people vibe and direct downer lyrics (this is PA not LA). Powerful vocal performance that reminds me of Sinatra's most downcast moments. No distortion or fuzz here but plenty of doomed, quasi-proto-goth atmospheres.

GET ON IT
