A SALTY DOG

"A Salty Dog" was PROCOL HARUM's 3rd release and continued their highly classical progressive exploration in music. Title track "A Salty Dog" remains to this day one of my all- time favorite songs which was very influential to young bands like GENESIS and YES. This is truly a mighty album and in many rivals "Shine On Brightly" and their debut release for both beauty and character in song and performance. For those not all that familiar with PROCOL HARUM's music it is really their first 3 albums which are essential in my opinion with "A Salty Dog" being perhaps the most complete and versatile album hitting heavy Blues and progressive elements throughout. This is an essential album and remains one of my most treasured albums of all time.
