10 words or less: Mix early Zep and Grand Funk with a touch of Hendrix. 

Elaboration: I'm trying to remember where else in my collection I've heard 
Claus Bohling's fine Guitar playing... well, whatever other albums he's on, 
they are most likely post-Hurdy Gurdy. This recording was made in 1971 and 
sounds like it. Perhaps the best comparison would be Grand Funk Railroad's 
early sound with a dash of Hendrixian creativity thrown in for good measure. 
The first two cuts on this album are fairly typical turn of the 70s hard rock 
with emphatically sung lyrics in English, provided by Mr. Bohling himself. 
Track 3 is where things start to get interesting; it's a high energy uptempo 
instrumental with great Guitar playing. Track 4 is a Sitar & hand Percussion 
jam that concludes with a few existential lyrics. Track 5 includes some 
Harmonica also played by Claus but as with the remainder of the album, this 
suffers from a dated sound that screams late 60s/early 70s. I recommend this 
album to all fans of 70s hard rock since it is a very good document of that 
sound. ~ L Perez
