Search - Pete Brown, Phil Ryan :: Road of Cobras

2010 release from Pete Brown, one of the great unsung heroes of the 1960s' Brit Rock scene, recorded with musical partner Phil Ryan. Comprising 14 tracks, the album also contains magnificent contributions from the likes of Arthur Brown, Mick Taylor, Clem Clempson, Jim Mullen, and Annie Whitehead, as well as some inimitably Jazz-flavoured horn charts from a stellar brass section including Lee Goodall, Laurie Brown, and a cameo from Art Themen. Highlights include a superb duet between Pete Brown and Maggie Bell on the sulphurous, smouldering 'Between Us', and Brown's trademark lyrical wit suffuses the likes of 'Klip-On Weirdness Kit'. The whole album is a delightfully, reassuringly old school Brit Rock record that radiates the kind of quality ensemble playing that many thought was extinct when the '60s morphed into the '70s.
