Three Man Army - A Third of a Lifetime (1971)

Following the breakup of Gun, the Gurvitz brothers formed a new power trio with Mike Kelley (Spooky Tooth) and set out to produce the definitive hard rock under the name, Three Man Army. They succeeded. The CD begins with the Devil-like Butter Queen before moving through a series of moods and styles (instrumentals - Midnight with Buddy Miles and Third of A Lifetime - flamenco guitar stylings). Personal favorite tracks include Together (with a Stairway To Heaven solo), Another Day, a country like rocker with more excellent guitar and a stomper, See What I Took. Adrian Gurvitz is both fast and tasty with note selection. One of the absolute best LPs from the period and comes with bonus tracks - single - What's My Name? Highly Recommended.
