Pisces - Pisces (1971)


Ένα κλασικό folk Βρετανικό γκρουπ που έβγαλε ένα και μοναδικό άλμπουμ (πολύ καλό) έχουμε σήμερα, όπου σύμφωνα με τα αναγραφόμενα στο net το Lp τους είναι σπάνιο. Ξεκίνημα σε αυτό το γκρουπ έκανε ο μετέπειτα γνωστός στο Αγγλικό κοινό Richard Digance, ο οποίος έκανε την πρώτη του δισκογραφική επιτυχία το 1975. Γεγονός που σημαίνει ότι με τους Pisces απέτυχε. Ούτως ή άλλως οι Pisces είχαν ελάχιστο χρόνο ζωής ως συγκρότημα. Σε ένα καθ’όλα μελωδικό άλμπουμ ξεχωρίζω τα Poker Joe, Jack O Legs, Bright New Morning και After The Night.

This album is now a minor collectable. It consists of self-penned soft folk-rock songs. Some, like "Jack O'Legs", are story songs. Others, like "The Ballad Of Benjamin Bratt", are very light-hearted. There are some nice melodies on this album, which is worth investigating for fans of this genre. Richard Digance went on to become a well-known humorous folk artist and TV personality.
