ONCE UPON A TIME.....Mott The Hoople

 

MOTT THE HOOPLE  Mott The Hoople  (Island,1969) - Rock



     Before Mott the Hoople joined the glam-rock hit parade with 1972's ''All the Young Dudes,'' the English quintet had staked out its own strange corner of rock & roll. The band's 1969 debut, Mott the Hoople — a bracing mixture of Ian Hunter's self-consciously Dylanized vocals, Mick Ralphs' power guitar, and Verden Allen's churning organ swirls — contains such reckless but successful undertakings as a thuggish instrumental cover of the Kinks' ''You Really Got Me,'' a majestic examination of Sonny Bono's inane ''Laugh at Me,'' and the stately 11-minute ''Half Moon Bay.'' Amid the enveloping psychedelia and overt Dylan knockoffs, the groupie love song ''Rock and Roll Queen'' showcases future Bad Company star Ralphs at his most searingly cogent.

It was his second “solo” album for RCA Records, but everyone, especially Fleetwood, knew it was a band effort. Fleetwood’s name was the draw, but The Zoo was a fully formed ensemble that had been playing together for a year. This occurred because Fleetwood wanted a real group and not an album put out by studio musicians who’d come by, do their parts, and ride off to other projects.        The principal members of the Zoo were Fleetwood on drums, guitarist/singers Billy Burnette and Steve Ross, and bassist/singer George Hawkins. (Hawkins had appeared on Fleetwood’s previous release,  The Visitor ). As Burnette, Hawkins, and Ross shared lead vocal duties and co-wrote many of the songs, the band’s structure was easily compared to that of Fleetwood Mac.

  BATTEAUX  Batteaux  (Columbia,1973) - Folk,Rock,Funk         Batteaux  is a long treasured and notoriously under appreciated 70’s underground folk-funk classic. The only release by the Batteau brother duo is a perfect mix of balearic blue eyed soul and west coast country rock. Admirers old and new have been constantly pondering, why wasn’t this better known? The record had all the ingredients for commercial success. It was released on Columbia in ’73, features virtuoso guest players including Tom Scott, John Guerin, and Andy Newmark, as well as incredible songwriting and musicianship from the Batteau brothers themselves.
