CRABBY APPLETON – CRABBY APPLETON – 1970 (US) hard rock

Formed by Michael Fennelly after the end of Millennium and Sagittarius, Crabby Appleton was one of the early seventies California rock groups signed by Elektra, along with Rhinoceros or the Wackers. Their first album was produced by Don Gallucci (from Don and The Goodtimes and Touch) and enjoyed reasonable success, allowing them to release a second album on which they used some female background vocals. Their music was characterized by Fennelly's vocals (sometimes inspired by Robert Plant) and his good lead guitar work.

You can't screw up and be one of the people who don't know this album. You may know the lead-off track, "Go Back", their one and only hit (not a huge hit, by any stretch). No oldies station will play that hit, nor will any classic rock or alternative station acknowledge Crabby Appleton...but you're smarter than that, so go find it today. If you like The Zombies, The Hollies, and....erm, The Posies, then you want this in your library. In fact, if you like rock at all, you need this. You won't believe this came out in 1970.

Highly recommended!
