Family-Another underrated 1970 Band

Posted over 2 years ago

Artist:

Family
Album:

Anyway
Track:

Good News-Bad News - (live)

Another band I truly loved at the time was Family.They got their start in 1967 and have been labeled "Prog Rock" but thier live shows were incredible and like a few bands of that era never really hit it big. They did have a couple hit singles but kind of faded away after 1973. This song I thought comes as close to their live show from thier album -Anyway

asrati says Never heard 'em before, but have long been curious, as "The Dean of American Rock Critics" Robert Christgau "had some interesting and generally approving things to say":http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?id=1915&name=The+Family about their albums.

cpetersonart3 says Thanks for the comment, I've read Christgau's comments about this band and others and find that sometimes his scathing reviews are a little bit off.There are great moments in all the records he reviews.
