Primevil - Smokin' Bats at Camptons (1974)




This one gets really fun really quickly, with pristinely-recorded rural gentleness breaking out into intense virtuoso jamming and wild vocals. The rhythm section keep it heavy and funky while the guitar leads head for the stratosphere. In theory I find the barroom muso vibe kinda gross, but the execution is so wild and entertaining I don't care. I pick up some low-rent early 70s Dead overtones too, which is always a bonus.

HERE IT IS
