Black Pussy
On Blonde
If Hendrix had lived, he probably would have ended up recording Black Pussy's 'On Blonde' in 1971 as a kerosene- soaked hard rock warning against the commercial, pretentious pop overkill to come. Black Pussy is the sound of a dirty, immense engine coming down a two-lane blacktop; a trip fueled by the roar of a 1967- purchased bong in the back of a 1972 Nova. For a long, lovely, midnight desert ride, it makes a stunning companion, jaw- grindingly full of dangerous ideas snug in cigarette-burned red leather car seats. The vinyl LP is 180 gram black virgin vinyl with free CD insert. "The first track Marijuana is bongalicious-good-times-hard-rock so anthemic in scope it could easily rival Big Star's In the Street as an appropriate theme to That 70s Show. Grinding yet melodic guitars drive Can't Take Anymore and Ain't Talkin About Love, while Swim is an unyielding wah-wah pedal-to-the-metal slow jam. Theres also the crunch-fuzz, heavy grooves of Blow Some Steam and the moodily meditative Indiana. I don't know if its the unabashedly hedonistic combo of hard rock, pop and metal, the nostalgically delicious pop-art album cover or just that I love this band's name; but taken altogether this 70s-lovin' kitten is smitten." ~My Old Kentucky Blog.
