Re: Edgar Broughton Band

Very underrated blues prog rock. They were very heavy though.



Thanks to Love In The Rain and Beat Club for introducing me into EBB.

Re: Edgar Broughton Band

Well the debut was very heavy anyway. They progressively got less and less heavy abandoning the Captain Beefheart like vocals etc ..over the years but I still like alot of their not so heavy albums.

They were a cool band. Lots of great music.

Re: Edgar Broughton Band

Wasa Wasa is thier definitve album IMO. Slab and sick. Acidic. Craziness.

Re: Edgar Broughton Band

Nipped up to York with Sweaty yesterday to see Edgar do a solo acoustic night, I enjoyed the gig and as Sweat said the approach and material reminded us a little of Roy Harper at times. He played "The Duchess" venue to a small crowd of about 40, the sound was great. Yeah good night all in all.
