CD, стоящие на полке рядом : Rock      

If you've come to this CD expecting to hear some rare Procol Harum cuts, you may be disappointed to find not the music of Procol Harum, but Procol Harum playing the musical style of the Paramounts, which is the band's original incarnation.

The word is that the boys put this album together on a lark as they were in the studio recording Home, Procol's first hard rock album.

I'm not really a fan of the '50s style rock and roll presented here, but that it is performed by some of my favorite musicians adds interest. For despite the fact that this is pretty basic rock and roll, Brooker, Trower and company make it a CD worth having with their virtuoso play.

Most of the CD is good to excellent. The best song is Well, I... on which Robin Trower really lays down a sharp groove and Gary Brooker lets loose. The most interesting is the humorous Shopping For Clothes on which the desired suit sounds like some kind of outrageous pimp's outfit. Oldies fans will recognize such standards as Kansas City, Lucille, and Old Black Joe as songs which have spawned a thousand covers.

This CD is a must for the Procol Harum completeist and should interest any music lover who enjoys well-played old time rock and roll. Too bad it is not more well known.
