GOOD GOD

In fact, this is a defining album of its era in uniqueness and professionalism, with all original stuff except for the wonderful King Kong piece from Zappa. The instrumental work by all members are totally top notch, with the rhythm section delivering that perfect tight approach to a loose groove.

This is a gem, and a must for anyone that enjoys horn based, guitar complimented jazz rock/fusion.

this album was the one and only release from Good God, a fusion band from Philadelphia. The songs, while fusion lean a bit more toward the rock side, with Larry Cardarelli's strong guitar leading the way. But Cotton Kent's keyboards, mostly electric piano, keep the fusion feel throughout the album. The horns play a big role here, and the band added a number of extra players to keep the sound heavy.

I get hints of a Magma-like sound at times, especially in Galorna Gavorna. And the group does a fantastic job on Frank Zappa's early standard, King Kong, and John McLaughlin's Dragon Song.

Considering the popularity of good fusion at that time, it's surprising that this band remained obscure, and onlt put out this one album. But if you can find it, it's worth the price.
