BAKERLOO - Bakerloo (1969)
320
Bakerloo was formed in 1968 Dave "Clem" Clempson on guitar, piano, and vocals , Keith Baker on drums, & Terry Poole on bass and vocals. The band's lone LP "Bakerloo" was a lost classic of heavy progressive British blues. The music of Bakerloo sounds like a cross between Cream and Mick Abrahams era Jethro Tull sans Ian Anderson's flute. Among the cuts included is a version of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Bring It On Home" which was also covered on Led Zeppelin II. Much of the album is given over to instrumental jamming hence the influence of Cream. This reissue also contains 2 bonus cuts, a non-lp b-side and an alternate take. Songs such as "Gang Bang" and "Son of Moonshine" exhibit the instrumental prowess of the band. Snatches of "Cat's Squirrel" covered by both Cream and Jethro Tull can be heard interpolated throughout the latter song. This lp combines elements of rock, blues and jazz for a hot combination. It is a shame that the group only released one album before Clempson left to join progressive rockers Colosseum. He was later a member of blues rockers Humble Pie and progressive rockers Greenslade. He also unsucessfully auditioned for the vacant lead guitarist position in the Rolling Stones after Mick Taylor quit (eventually filled by Ronnie Wood). It is a tribute to Clempson's versatility, exhibited here in its early form, that he was able to play so many styles of music. Keith Baker also left for greener pastures in Uriah Heep however his stint did not last long. In summary this is a welcome reissue for fans of British blues rock and the unsung Dave "Clem" Clempson. - amazon.com
