Product Description
From Amazon.com
Procol Harum could be credited (if not blamed) for popularizing classical rock with its J.S. Bach-inspired hit, 1967's "A White Shade of Pale," but the band only rarely drifted into the precious territory explored by groups like the Moody Blues and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. A Salty Dog, Procol Harum's third and best album, was built around the twin keyboards of Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher (who also produced this album), but also showcased the bluesy, fuzz-toned guitar of Robin Trower. The title tune is a fully orchestrated sea ballad memorable for Brooker's soulfully majestic vocal. Folk-rock tunes like "The Milk of Human Kindness" and "Too Much Between Us" were more stripped-down but no less effective. And on "The Devil Came from Kansas," Trower uncorked a burly guitar solo that was downright heavenly. --John Milward
CD Description
Procol Harum, who reached an astounding peak with their 1967 debut, achieved further heights with each successive release up to A SALTY DOG, their third. This album mixes heartfelt singing with orchestral grandeur and an R&B-based rhythm section (B.J. Wilson is one of the great unsung drummers of the '60s and '70s). The band easily and honestly moves from the symphonic mini-epic of the title track to the bluesy "TheMilk of Human Kindness". The dual keyboards offer a regal sheen that is nicely punctuated by Robin Trower's guitar. Throughout, Gary Brooker's vocals are richly barbed and the perfect vehicle to deliver lyricist Keith Reid's literary verses. With the departure of organist Matthew Fisher, this was the last great recording by the original line-up of Procol Harum. This album is essential.
