The Sons Posted by djmaru

The Sons: "You Can Fly" From The Sons (Capitol, 1969) Apparently The Sons, formerly The Sons of Champlin, were a psychadelic rock outfit from the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 60's and early 70's. I found their self-titled record on a recent trip to New York. I actually grabbed it based on aesthetics alone and threw it on the in-store turntable, skimmed threw it quickly until I hit "You Can Fly" and was greeted with a heavy drum break that I immediately recognized from Hard 2 Obtain's "Bust Me Down." No further listening was required as I quickly filed it into the "to buy" stack. When I got home I was pleasantly surprised hearing the track in it's entirety. It's quite a monster, clocking in at just under twelve minutes, but it manages to hold your attention throughout. I'm not familiar with any of their other material, but I'd certainly check them out based on the strength of this track alone.
