Quoth the Raven, "Oh my God!"
Here's another one of those "concept albums" that people used to do back in the 70's before musicians realized that it was a bad bet to expect people to have any interest in actual artistry. This one has the bold idea of recording a series of rock tunes set to the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe. All in all, it's not a bad idea, and one that must have been largely lost on the dope-smoking rock-n-roll record buyers of the era. The music on this album is really pretty cool. Check out "The Raven", which I understand hit the charts for at least a little while in 1974. Its wailing Hammond organ sounds and monotone vocal delivery are pretty catchy. I also enjoy the way the band combines early-Beatles haircuts with late-Beatles costuming. Who can possibly resist a band with a velvet jacket and a giant black bird? Not me! |

says: WOW! That was some show the Prism put on last night (6/07) at the Scranton Cultural Center. This 4 guys were not just good. They were super great. I can not remmeber them sounding better. Augie, Tom, Rick, and Lou truly got better with time. They are up there running with the big Dogs. Gene Guarilia #20, (4 time Boston Cetics champion 59-63) currently playing bass guitar with the www.cadillacsband.com. Was very impressed with TGP performance. Coming from Gene that is a super compliment! Gene also ask me if TGP is going to perform again. Tom I guess the ball is in your court now. Hope to see you soon. Rock on, Mike S (06-08-2008)
