       THREE MAN ARMY 

                   USA - PINK - KAMA SUTRA KSBS 2044   

Three Man Army  consists of the nucleus Gurvitz Brothers (Adrian and Paul, both guitarists) who were formerly the main guys in the band Gun and wouldn’t really become known until they joined forces with Ginger Baker to form Baker-Gurvitz Army around 1974. Also playing with the band on this lp is drummer Buddy Miles, who along with a slew of solo lps, played on Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies lp in ’70, In addition, there's ex-Spooky Tooth percussionist Mike Kellie and guitarist Brian Parrish the final pieces to the puzzle.

While many say THREE MAN ARMY have grown more roots in hard rock, they mingle more or less within the barriers of hard and, moderate hard rock, for lack of a better term. However, the first track on the Lp, “Butter Queen”, is a great hard rock track, unconstrained with a pretty raucous main riff, lots of cool solos, rife drum work, and an almost untamed chorus == the best track featured. “Daze” only cools the pace a little with short, lightly strummed/sung intervals that make the heavy breakouts all the more sonic. The medium-paced “Another Way” keeps the pace going more or less, a catchy lengthy number that should’ve at least seen some airplay -- a real breather is the endearing, acoustically laid out instrumental that is the title track, swooning melodics. “Nice One”, another wordless ditty, is much different that it’s precursor. It begins with a basic bass/guitar rhythm with solos mixed in that kind of thumps forward, but slowly generates momentum to a faster version of the same riff for a decent track. “Three Man Army” is another fairly mellow tune with more solos you can shake a stick at and a clever riff that sneaks in at times until it’s finally in full view at the end. “See What I Took” would come off with pounding interludes and ripping solos that hinge the verses together. Over to slow blues melodrama goes in “Midnight”, though the not-so-customary organ backdrop gives it a slightly different verve. The finale is the oddball “Together”, a multi-faceted fracture of “Stairway to Heaven”-ish acoustics, an anthemic chorus, and some short bursts of progressing rock and gives the final embrace easily nonetheless.

Third of a Lifetime is a stirring affair filled withmemorable tracks that are accented nicely in the controlled hardness (excluding “Butter Queen” of course which rips like MAY BLITZ ).
