Reissue of a lost overlooked gem, a SLY STONE-sque psych prog soulful funk rock album recorded in France in 1970. This record is remarkable for its massive sound, fantastic soulful vocals backed up with the roaring wild hammond organ of Robert Hunt & the heavy breakbeats & grooves of Henry Moore, sampled by numerous artists amongst TYLER THE CREATOR, MAC MILLER. AESOP ROCK, UNKLE, GORILLAZ, KID KOALA, LOGIC, JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, DAVID HOLMES...
HEAD WEST was born from the ashes of the L.A. based soul band, THE SEVEN SOULS. Former members Henry Moore & Bob Welch, who will later be part of FLEETWOOD MAC, teamed up with the hammond organ player Robert Hunt from THE MERCED BLUES NOTES, to record this unique long player and a couple of 45's. These tracks were wonderfully produced by french production team Starchild Music who will work for the canadian psych soul funk combo CANE AND ABLE.
