Redeye (US 1970-1971)





 

It's interesting how similar the eye cover is to the NZ preceding drawing although I don't imagine for a second there was any plagiarism involved given the artist name.

These guys are like CCR crossed with that lovely country rock sound of Spruce and their incredible song about Winter I so raved about back here.  Again the harmony vocals on these 2 LPs are outstanding and provide that classic rock sound we love so much.

From discogs:

Los Angeles country-rock band who charted the single "Games" in 1971. Vocalist Douglas Mark was previously with The Sunshine Company.

I must say it's always a shock to see the Greek story of Daedalus (whose wax winged son Icarus fell into the ocean not heeding his father's warning not to fly too close to the sun) being referenced on a rock album as on this one, in fact I don't think I've ever seen that before. Then again the fact his name was misspelled as Dadaelus is a little bit detracting, as you can see on the vinyl label.  Nonetheless the lyrics are clearly referencing the myth, which happens to be my favourite Greek one:
