DESCRIPTION:
CD Review: the Druids Of Stonehenge [New York] - Creation [Limited Edition] (Sundazed)-2011. Their only album [UNI] 1968.

I'm giving the above CD that I bought for $16.46 including S/H a rating of 4 stars (stars/tracks).
It's rated 3.5 stars at All Music Guide's site.

NOTE: I normally give a CD a first time impression rating; Then I repeat a few iterations with the expectation of knocking some 5 star songs down to 4 stars, and knocking some 4 star songs down to 3 stars, BUT on this album from 1968 I didn't need to change any at all, meaning that I personally "Hit The Nail On The Head" the first time, which is highly unusual! :-)

Group Members:

Elliot Randall: Born in 1947 is an American guitarist best known for being a session musician with popular artists. Check him out on wikipedia.
Steve Tindall: Drums. OUTSTANDING.
Carl "Doc" Hauser: Guitar.
Billy "B.T." Tracy: Guitar.
David Budge: Lead Singer.
Tim Workman: Bass.

Biography excerpt by Dave Thompson All Music Guide (AMG):

"For many years best known only for the two songs later culled for the Baubles, Vol. 1 compilation, "Six Feet Down" and "Pale Dream," Creation has also since been reissued by Sundazed."

CD REVIEW excerpt by Mark Deming from All Music Guide (AMG):

"Lead singer has a vocal snarl that's an impressive FUSION of Mick Jagger and Eric Burdon, and even on gossamer-weight material like "Six Feet Down," "Earthless," and a cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," he sounds like the most attitudinal kid on the block spoiling for a fight, which feels a bit incongruous at times, but also gives the quiet numbers enough muscle to stand up to their harder-rocking kin."

"Guitarists Carl Hauser and Billy "B.T." Tracy merge folky jangle and tough rock & roll crunch with nimble grace, and the rhythm section of Tom Paine Workman on bass and Steve Tindal on drums is flexible enough to float on the trippy stuff and stomp hard when the time comes to rock."

I would add to that Steve Tindal's drums are notable on every song but one "Six Feet Down" where he's absent.

BOTTOM LINE: They are a "One Album Band" that collectors of Garage-Rock-Pop and late 1960s memorabilia collections should check out!

BELOW: Here are my 5 star headliner songs on this CD.

(Track Number of 11)

(1) Six Feet Down - AMG Pick. The most notable thing is the Baroque-Church Organ work with no drums. Very good soft lead/back-up vocals.

(7) Pale Dream - AMG Pick. He sounds very Proto-Punk on this song. Outstanding drum work. nice guitar riffs. He can scream as loud as Iggy Pop (The Stooges)
in his raw early days.

(9) Forget To Be Begot - This is a very good soft Pop Rock song with notable drum work.

(10) A Garden Where Nothing Grows - Best track on CD? Many times his vocals remind me of Eric Burdon of The Animals, BUT on this one he's sounding more like Mick Jagger with street-corner Doo-Wop back-up vocals.

Now to check out what songs from above that I can find on youtube.
UPDATE: Didn't find any of the above songs. Only one studio song is on youtube that is a Screamin Jay Hawkins classic song.
Druids Of Stonehenge - I Put A Spell On You (1968) - that I gave a 3 star rating.
They have a live song on youtube - Druids of Stonehenge live part 2 just to give you an idea what they looked like, BUT is a bad representation of what they are capable of. :-(

Now to select which of the above songs to upload to my youtube CHANNEL.
UPDATE: It was a choice between "Six Feet Down" and "Pale Dream", BUT decided to use "A Garden Where Nothing Grows" because it showcases their Rock & Roll/R&B roots.
