I assume this desert Island has electricity?

 

Been listening to quite a bit of the Black Crowds (sic) recently. Playing some of their tunes with the band too, especially Hard to Handle, never really struck me before how much they sound like The Faces at times. I was never really into The Faces but I may be tempted to check out some of the back catalogue.

 

Southern harmony is a great album it's a hippy Never Mind The Bollocks, the first one - with hard to handle is pretty derivative I think.

 

I know it's not regarded as one of their best but I love Lions. The whole album sort of ties together nicely.

No books or anything else but lots of tissues by the sounds.
