FEVER TREE

MICHAEL KNUST , E.E. WOLFE III, DENNIS KELLER, JOHN TUTTLE, ROB LANDES

Originally known as Bostwick Vine, they formed in Houston in 1966 and quickly became known as Fever Tree. 

Michael Knust had earlier been a solo artist. Like many other Texan bands of this era they spent time in 

San Francisco and many actually believed them to be Californians. 

This was partly due to their Top 100 U.S. hit San Francisco Girls, which reached No. 91.

Their first album was excellent, and reached No. 156 in the charts, but then decline set in. 

The remaining three each had moments of merit, particularly the second....

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

They open up with a pretty good piece of musical prestidigitation, melding 

Johann Sebastian Bach and Ennio Morricone into the album's first track, 

which segues neatly into a hard rock style that's their own on the spaced-out, Ravel-laced 

"Where Do You Go," which sounds like the Doors and the Jimi Hendrix Experience 

jamming together. They also roll over "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out," 

squeezed into a two-song medley, like a proto-metal 

steamroller while quoting "Norwegian Wood" and "Eleanor Rigby"; 

then switch gears into a beautifully elegant, gently orchestrated pop/rock rendition 

of Neil Young's "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" that's worth 

the price of admission by itself. The harder rocking numbers (especially "San Francisco Girls") 

are highly diverting artifacts of their time, while the last two songs, 

"Unlock My Door" and "Come with Me (Rainsong)," show off 

a totally unexpected and beautifully reflective folk-rock side to their sound 

that's strongly reminiscent of Phil Ochs' work on Pleasures of the Harbor and 

Tape from California. The variations in sound and content, 

plus the fact that the only keyboard player, Rob Landes, made any large contribution 

to the in-house songwriting (mostly the work of their producers, Scott & Vivian Holtzman), 

makes it difficult to pin down precisely what Fever Tree was about, beyond the 

evidence at hand; but taken on its own terms, the album ought to be better known 

than it is, which is probably also true of the band itself...(AllMusic)
