RARE ADVANCE RELEASE = WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL

Original 1971 first pressing in triple-gatefold cover ... the phenomenal bassist of CREAM pulls out all the moves here with solid compositions and moods that grow with repeat plays... The best unknown/undrestimated album this side of CREAM... 

Jack Bruce's songs and musical skills are always great but in Harmony Row he achieves a mix with Pete Brown's lyrics, Chris Spedding's guitar and John Marshall's drums which just cannot be matched. It is a landmark album and there is nothing else quite like it and overall it's way better than anything Clapton ever released after Cream.  Upon repeat listens (it's a grower) Harmony Row hits the  'masterpiece' level... Jack's vocals are outstanding, his bass guitar is insane and his intricate throbbing styles are heard constantly throughout the album. The songs is also very heavy in keyboards - which Jack plays beautifully. The back up musicians, the amazing guitarist Chris Spedding from Pete Brown's Piblokto, and drummer by John Marshall are both fantastic and play very tight together. Jack also uses Pete Brown for the lyrics, the same cat that wrote all the great Cream tunes - - so expect some awesome work within this album. Harmony Row is wildly romantic but it also contains some strange alienated urbanscapes and a dark Latin-inflected closing track based on Lowry's Under the Volcano. "Folk Song" and "Victoria Sage" are haunting and exquisite. "Escape To The Royal Wood" is majestic. Every song on the album seems to be related, in terms of sound, instrumentation, lyrics, and ability to evoke emotions.

1.Can You Follow - short but sweet, simply Jack and the piano
2.Escape to Royal Wood on Ice - great lyrics, great vocals, great piano.
3.You Burned The Tables On Me - highlight, a heavier song on the album, proof that Jack still rocks, very Creamish
4.There's a Forest - The weakest part of the album but not bad, more of an intro for track 5, just Jack and the piano
5.Morning Story - a highlight, good bass, fast-paced song with piano AND keyboards
6.Folk Song - a hightlight with some haunting keyboard and vocal work
7.Smiles and Grins - a highlight, my favorite, 6 minutes goes by in no time
8.Post War - nice guitar work, like two songs in one
9.A Letter of Thanks - one of the weaker songs, but still good
10.Victoria Sage - highlight, took me a few listens but now i love it
11.The Consul at Sunset - highlight, great song with a groovy latin feel
