Artist:
Spirit
Title:
Cosmic Smile



Details:
Creators of refined and original albums Spirit are undoubtedly one of the most interesting groups in the panorama of American rock thanks to drummer Ed Cassidy (ex-jazz drummer) and guitarist Randy California (friend of Jimi Hendrix from whom he had obviously learned a great number of tricks). This album came to life between '91 and '95 but it is not a collection it is a real album and of high quality. The guitar of Randy California flies free from the first track "Shake My Ego " Featuring a Hendrix-style intro while "Compromise" is a track that is 100% Spirit. "Close To You " features Jazz-styled improvisations while "Mean and Beautiful " is again in the style of a certain well-known lefty from Seattle. The passing of Randy California in January 1997 was a hard blow for all of us who have loved his extraordinary musicianship but his music lives on
