Synopsis

Album Description
The debut album by legendary early seventies Texas band Nitzinger is finally available again on CD! Featuring incisive tracks punctuated by the above-average guitar playing of leader and guitar guru John Nitzinger (another killer axeman, Bugs Henderson, is also present on almost every track, although his name did not originally appear in the sleeve credits), and an adrenaline pumped rhythm section featuring Linda Waring on drums and Curly Benton on bass and vocals. The band's sound can be compared to that of Frank Marino in his prime. In other words, this is authentic hard blues rock. Nitzinger's name is also linked to that of another great band, Bloodrock, labelmates and friends with similar musical tastes, so prepare yourself for an aural guitar-heavy assault... Texas style!
 

CD Reviews

Tail-Kicking Texas Boogie-Rock By Pro-Law-Enforcement Singer
The Footpath Cowboy | Kingston, NY United States | 02/01/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"NITZINGER is a great slab of tail-kicking Texas boogie-rock by John Nitzinger, a contemporary of ZZ Top and Johnny and Edgar Winter, bringing together influences from all three artists to forge a style that presaged Lynyrd Skynyrd by a year. The fact that John Nitzinger, much like Ted Nugent, advocates sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, increased funding for law enforcement, and capital punishment for kidnappers makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience."

"This is a four star cd, don't know why it only shows 1 star here. I have seen this band live 2 different times with Bugs Henderson playing along side John Nitzinger, wow what a show. I just bought the cd and love it all over again. Don't pass this one up."
