The Blackbirds were originally formed in south west Germany and they released their first album "No Destination" on UK Label Saga in 1968.
The Blackbirds consisted of psychedelic beat / pop music with a touch of the Mothers Of Invention type satire and some progressive touches. Strong vocals by singer and guitar player Werner Breinig and some interesting Hammond organ work by Hubert Koop.
The German label OPP released 5 tracks of this first album on the "Snake in the Grass" album later on. 2nd album "A Touch Of Music", originally released in 1971 on German Label OPP with a complete new line-up with the exception of
singer and guitar player Werner Breinig who now played violin and flute as well and a complete new style of music. They adopted a nice, poetic and classical influenced progressive style with long tracks.
The band disbanded after only two albums, they are bothe available as imports on the German Label "Long Hair". The 2nd one is excellent, sometimes a little quiet so you have to give them a chance when listening.
