This was a great album to find! This is like the Canadian cross of Cream and The Rolling Stones but with enough of a personal stamp to not be derivative. You will catch the bass riff to "Sunshine of Your Love" in one song and a guitar riff that sounds a lot like "Jumpin' Jack Flash" in another, but these guys rock their own through the rest of the album. One delightful surprise was to hear "Time Piece". It's a heavy, downer rock kind of song, and I had heard it before as Bloodrock from Texas covered it on their 1970 debut. The Churls' version is just as heavy and ominous. This is a great hard rock album that doesn't spend much time on the light side, nor does it play around with drug-induced jams sessions. These boys get straight to the point!
