Spann
" Treat It Right "
* Still Sealed * (no cut-outs, absolutely no flaws)
Blues Light Records CCl 33-135, 1979 Independant pressing
Quebec was just coming off it's golden age of Prog in the late 70's, and clearly it was not a hot bed for the blues in that decade (there was Spann, Offenbach, Expedition, Mahogany Rush and arguably, very early Dionysos who were playing unique blends of blues-rock in Quebec in the 70's, but that's about it !). Spann was essentially playing the bar-circuit (mostly in East-End Montreal), they had no record distribution contract, they had self-financed their recordings and releases, and unsurprisingly their first 2 LP's barely sold in the hundreds (their last album saw a limited-run pressing of only 500 LPs). Needless to say, all 3 albums (particularly the 1st two), are near-impossible to find today !
The obscure Montreal (East-End) stoner blues-rock-psych power trio were busy recording in 1979.........They put down the tracks for "Rough Cuts", and this, their follow-up LP" Treat It Right" only a few months later.....both privately released on the tiny American Blues Light ticket. In July of the same year, they headed off to Memphis where they recorded their third (and last), "Let The Hell Hang" at Sam Phillips' legendary studio.
The band's name is an obvious homage to Otis Spann, which makes it quite clear what we find on these three albums.......BLUES ! .......a whole lot of low-down dirty blues in their case.......a blues style that sits somewhere between down-to-the-bone rough-throated early ZZ Top & Stones......absolutely killer slide, tough heavy raw blues-rock à la fellow-Canadians McKenna Mendelson Mainline, with dabbles of Blue Cheer power-trio psychedelics here and there.
..... Wow ! Not a bad track anywhere ......
Ray Jalbert (vocals, guitar, slide, harmonica), Henry Paul (bass), Ron Veronneau (drums)
