|  Alan Davey's Psychedelic Warlords
 
  Hall Of The Mountain Grill Live (London 2014)
 
  Review by Gary Hill
 
 Alan Davey served as the bass player in Hawkwind for many years. In 2014 he did some gigs with a band called "Psychedelic Warlords." This live album is taken from one of the shows and features Hawkind's Hall of the Mountain Grill album from start to finish. There are two tracks not included on the original studio Hawk album, too. This set works pretty well, but I'm not always taken by the vocals (by Craig High), which sometimes seem to take away from the experience by being too punky and overly theatrical. Still, this is a cool piece of space rock, and an intriguing variant on the studio album - which happens to be my all-time favorite Hawkwind album. Besides, your mileage may vary on those vocals. This review is  available in book (paperback and hardcover) in                                                           Music                                        Street                                                    Journal:                           2019                                               Volume 6.
