\"Anyone got a clue on this short-lived early 1970s trio? The fact that their sole album was recorded in California with Keith Olsen engineering leads me to believe they were American, but who knows.
Released by Paramount Records, 1971's \"The Adventures of Robert Savage, Volume 1\" is one of those albums that initially doesn't seem to have a great deal going for it. Based on the sci-fi cover I bought it expecting something vaguely progressive. Not even close. LOL. The first time I spun it the Hendrix-styled rockers quickly faded into background noise. It wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, rather just wasn't very imaginative. Luckily I dumped it into an 'also ran' pile that I came back to a couple of months later. Mind you, this set won't change your life in any way, but namesake guitarist Savage (aka Bobby Arlin or The Hook and The Leaves fame), singer/bassist Don Parish and drummer Tommy Richards turned in what is a pretty impressive set of Hendrix-inspired hard rock and white boy blues. With Savage/Arlen and Parish responsible for most of the nine compositions, tracks like 'Amy (The Insane)' and the instrumental 'Road Apples' demonstrated that Savage was a more than competent guitarist. That said, the band's secret weapon was singer/bassist Parish. Parish had a killer growl of a voice that bore a mild resemblance to a more versatile Tony Joe White, or perhaps James Dewar (of Robin Trower fame). Virtually everything he sang was worth hearing. On the other hand lyrically tracks such as 'Beaver Baby', ' A Hard One' and 'Seven Days Drunk' weren't exactly Pulitzer Prize noteworthy, though they were goofy enough to be worth hearing. Be sure to check out 'Amy (The Insane)'). It all came together in the form of the bizarre 'Save Us from the Cyclops'.
Definitely derivative, but it's one of those albums that I find gets better every time I spin it.\"
