Formed in Stafford, England in 1968, the British blues duo Medicine Head were comprised
of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist John Fiddler and Peter Hope-Evans, who played the harmonica and jew's harp.
Upon their formation at art college, Medicine Head became a staple of the local club circuit, eventually recording
a demo which found its way to influential BBC radio personality John Peel, who began championing
the track "His Guiding Hand." Other DJs soon followed suit, and quickly the duo was on the brink of stardom

Riding on the back of two successive U.K. hit singles, the jerkily insistent "Rising Sun" and the quietly l
azy "One and One Is One," Medicine Head's fourth album captures the duo expanding and electrifying
with maniacal zeal. Without sacrificing the understated joys which were Medicine Head's traditional
calling cards, One and One Is One is littered with unexpected flourishes and accents, bass and keyboards
(courtesy of producer Tony Asheton) underpinning the sparseness with a warm, subtle flair:
the traffic sounds which wrap up the opening "Out on the Street," the slinky bassline bleeding through
"Another Lay," the jabbing guitar and squelching organ which propel "Rising Sun." Of course it's business
as usual around these highlights. The skiffle/jug jollity of "How Does It Feel" could have slipped on
or off any past Medicine Head album, while the gentle acoustics of "Morning Light" and "Instant Karma Kid"
are potent reminders of Fiddler's songwriting genius at its most naked.
But if Medicine Head once hid their lights beneath a bushel of eclectic solitude,
One and One Is One is the sound of them inching into a wider world...(AllMusic)
