Cradle Rock
The riff that opens this certainly has some hints of Led Zeppelin built in, but it’s also very much a blues rock tune. The organ has a killer 1970s sound and as this really kicks out it calls to mind the hardest rocking side of The Doors. There’s a good chunk of psychedelic rock built into this, but all in all, it’s just good plain rock and roll. The guitar solo is a real screamer. You might even make out hints of The Allman Brothers here, depending on your musical experience. The keyboard solo later really plays on that Doors thing. The cut works through a number of changes and alterations as it carries onward. |
