BLACK MOUNTAIN "black mountain"




Of recent I seem to be in a very retro mood. Listening to alot of old sounding music. I find myself fascinated with Black Mountain. Like many of the great records from the late 60's and early 70's I find Black Mountain somewhat hard to pidgeon hole. flowing back and forth between classic hard rock, psychedelic, progressive, sometimes blending them all at the same time. If "Jet" is the radio friendly version of retro, then "Black mountain" is the radio unfriendly version. I heard a rumor they opened for "coldplay". I have no idea who would have come up with that pairing but it makes no sense to me. favorite tracks: "Don't Run Our Hearts Around", "Druganaut", and the beautiful stoner groove of "Set Us Free".
