Red Dirt is an (extremely) obscure UK psychedelic blues rock band that both formed and evaporated in 1970. This album represents their only output before their presence was smothered by the hundreds of other so-so blues rock acts that existed in the country at the time. While most of this album, besides from the opening track and the one that follows it, tends to be a little dull or uninventive by late 60s/early 70s standards, this band, at the very least, is a breath of fresh air compared to the trite 'high-school' psych rock acts that flood clubs and basements nowadays, peddling their best, albeit very poor, Black Angels/Witchcraft/Doors/Zeppelin impressions to the gaping maws of kids who would much rather play dress-up and pretend their the next wave of the Flower Children, than get with the fucking program, get a fucking job, and stop living off of their parents.
