Estus 1973 Album

Estus

Instead of Styx and Kansas, for a brief moment in 1973 it was entirely possible this group from Missouri (along with drummer Marc Bell) could have been the next big winner in the arena rock sweepstakes. It could have been "90 MPH (Just a Poor Boy From the Country)" ringing from radio stations coast to coast, not "The Grand Illusion". But something tells me record buyers were on to something. Estus' lone record is wholly commendable, but tries to tackle too much too soon, often over the course of one song ("On The Wings"). It's often fascinating to pick through and about as equally exasperating. Produced by Andrew Loog Oldham.
