Ten Wheel Drive with Genya Ravan – Brief Replies - Used LP
VG+/VG+. Cut out with drill hole. Gatefold.
Between her girl group offerings throughout most of the 1960s and her producing the Dead Boys in the second part of the 1970s, Ravan (who survived the Nazi Holocaust as a child in Poland, unlike most in her family who did not survive) formed this group in the late 1960s, the "Ten" in the band's name clearly alluding to the 10 members in the band, the use of horns connecting this with other horn-heavy rock bands from this era...this--like so many from this era--also clearly having something in common with the music of Janis Joplin (Janis died around the time of the release of this album)..like Janis, the band on this album covering a Weiss/Ragavoy number (on this "Stay With Me" which was already a signature song for Lorraine Ellison). The rest of the cuts on this second album from 1970 are originals. (Ten Wheel Drive songs would be sampled by hip hop artists.)
