Alamo - Alamo (1971)

Alamo - Alamo (1971)

This great album, released in 1971 in Memphis USA, is an extremely good hard guitar album with some nice extended instrumental jams in the style of Allman Brothers (on acid), Homer and "Nantucket" era-Mountain. Excellent and highly recommended '70s US psychedelic rock..…

LARRY DAVIS bs A
LARRY RASPBERRY vcls, gtr A
RICHARD ROSEBROUGH drms A
KEN WOODLEY keyb'ds, vcls A

Formed by four Memphis musicians, Alamo released a decent hard rock album. Larry Raspberry was previously in The Gentrys and would later form the Highsteppers. Richard Rosebrough went on to play with the Hot Dogs and Big Star, whilst Ken Woodley later played with Don Nix and would team up again with Rosebrough on the first solo albums by Alex Chilton.
