Just found out on NPR that Fanny’s back and recording. In the early 70’s I got to see in concert the first rock band consisting entirely of women to release an album on a major label. Was in row three and they were dressed in black witches robes. Ran out the next day and picked up their latest album. Still have it. Gotta love a bunch of old chicks rockin’ out and kickin's ass.
'70s Rockers Fanny Are Back With A New Album And New Stage Name : NPR
I picked up the new 3 cd/2 dvd edition of Heavy Horses. This is a fantastic release. There's quite a bit of repetition on it (a remixed version of the album, the original album and a high resolution version and standard and high def versions a concert) but at $35.00, it's not too pricey for all that you get. There are quite a few unreleased recordings from the era and a complete concert (I think the album Bursting Out was taken from this concert). The newly remastered album sounds fantastic.
I haven't listened to Heavy Horses much. I've always loved their earlier material. I don't venture much beyond War Child when I get in a mood for Tull. However, I love listening to them live. I might just pick that up.
Hope Mom and Grandad both feel better soon!Been a rough week with both my mom and grandad being in and out of the hospital. So I'm sitting down after work with some whiskey and jamming out to Traffic.
