Gravy Train - A Ballad of a Peaceful Man (1971)

Gravy Train - A Ballad of a Peaceful Man, Vertigo Records, 1971

  Trapped deep in the Vertigo Records vault lies this little beauty of an album.  This album is full of timeless melancholy and offers a wonderful mix of Progressive, Folk and Rock elements.    Lots of great flute and toe tappin grooves but the stellar part of this album for me is the immediately noticeable raw yet pure vocals of Normal Barrett.
