Wizard
The Original Wizard
Rare and sought after psychedelic hard-rock album from 1971 by this power trio from Tampa (Florida) that opened for big names like Iron Butterfly and Mountain and even played at the legendary Goose Lake Music Festival in Michigan. Wizard consisted of Ben Schultz (guitar, vocals), Paul Forney (bass and lead vocals) and Chris Luhn (drums). Together, they conjured a heavy sound full of raw and loud guitars, powerful bass and crashing drums. 'The Original Wizard' was their only album, recorded as a "live" in the studio demo after the band caught the attention of Decca Records, finally released on the small Peon Productions label. Remastered by Tony Reed at HeavyHead Recording Co. Original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Includes insert with liner notes and photos. RIYL: Who, Stack, Steppenwolf, Cream, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Third Power, Grand Funk...
