Yardbirds self-titled debut album has something in common with John Mayall’s album in the last post. Both groups had Eric Clapton in their band. The Yardbirds had three guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, who would achieve more success after leaving the band. The band would only have one hit album and breakup a few years later.
I think I am not a huge fan of early psychedelic rock music. I just cannot get into most of it. It does not move me. Some of it feels strange for the sake of being different. When I listen to music I want to be moved, I want to hear a story. I want my heart to feel it.
Once again, I find myself scoring an album I would never listen to again. At least I do not hate it like I hate country music. They are talented musicians. If you like 60s psychedelic rock, then give it a listen. 5/10.
