Trapeze-Medusa (1970)

Trapeze were other of the many great bands born in the late sixties and early seventies, a time that undoubtedly took place the greatest explosion of talent in rock. Hundreds and hundreds of bands that, drinking from the great blues classics, amplified their sound and took the music to levels difficult to imagine.
A few dozen groups deservedly took most of the glory. Others were not so lucky, despite the undoubted quality that they treasured, but that nevertheless left their mark and their legacy that were collected by the new generations.
One of the bands belonging to the second group was Trapeze, they never had the deserved success, although they were well recognized at the time for their direct explosives. Formed in 1969 in Staffordshire in the West of England, their first formation would only last a few months, but the second would be made up of Glenn Hughes (bass and vocals), Mel Galley (Guitars) and Dave Holland (drums). This formation would record their two best works "Trapeze" and "Medusa", both in 1970. The latter was recorded six months after the debut, and contains a repertoire loaded with songs that are in the line of hard rock blues as the initial "Black Could", or hardening their sound like heavy rock "Jury" or "Makes You Wanna Cry", instead songs like "Medusa" and "Your Love is Alright" are more focused on soul rock.
In the successive years these three musicians would go on to join three legendary bands, Hughes in Deep Purple, Mel Galley in Whitesnake and Holland in Judas Priest.
