Here are just some of the gems from this latest edition of the popular compilation series featuring long-lost vintage 60s-70s proto-metal and stoner rock singles, Brown Acid – The Thirteenth Trip:
Max, from Montreal, QCoriginally known as Dawn, before Tony Orlando & Dawn forced a name changekick things off with Run Run from their lone 1970 single. Its a hard-hitting rocker with scale climbing crunching guitars and powerful Bonham-esque drumming. Feelin Dead is extremely heavy blues from this also extremely rare 1974 single by Detroit, MIs Master Danse, which was only released as a promo 45. Think Led Zeppelins Since Ive Been Loving You. Gary Del Vecchio is Buzzin hard, and from what sounds like an in-studio party of yelps and chatter at the start of the song, it seems that the whole band was in on the festivities. The funky blues riff, reminiscent of Led Zeppelins Heartbreaker and rollicking rhythmic changes certainly keep the buzz a rollin. Finally, Good Humores swaggering 1976 rocker Detroit is a slick and smooth paen to the Motor City. It most likely doesnt predate Detroit Rock City by Kiss, also released in 1976, and it has more rocknroll swing, but it could fit comfortably alongside the eras arena anthems.
Mining the surprising rich reserves of heavy rock and proto-metal from the 60s and 70s, these collections have been crucial to understanding the history of a subgenre of rock that had far deeper roots than most fans realize. Paste Magazine
