QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA

Another RPI legend and among the Italian prog wave's founders,QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA were formed in Rome in 1970.They started as a pop/rock group and actually there is an early live recording from 1971 with famous covers and three original arrangements with hints of what was going to come a year later.So,in 1972 the band released their first eponymous debut through Help Label.With a total sound lifting QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA delivered superb-executed symph-oriented progressive rock with deep vocals and rich compositions.Their style starts from delicate acoustic guitars,tasteful flutes and soft musicianship and ends in furious driving violins,up-tempo rocking structures and classical interludes and interplays.A magnificent album,QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA's debut is among the greatest albums of the traditional Italian progressive rock!Nothing more or less than extremely highly recommended!
