"Sussex" by Bent Wind 1969
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Bent Wind  "Sussex"  1969 (Canada)
This obscure album from Toronto's Bent Wind is one of the great unsung gonzo fuzz guitar records of the sixties.  It's not a particularly innovative album (similar to the distorted folk rock of early Jefferson Airplane), but the band delivers their garage skronk with committed gusto.  They have occasionally reunited in recent years for gigs and have recorded two more albums (plus a CD with some live recordings from the 60's, "The Lost Ryerson Tapes".)
