Hemlock

Description

A new remastered and expanded edition of the 1973 self-titled album by Hemlock, the band formed by guitarist and singer Miller Anderson.
Anderson is a highly respected musician who gained recognition as a singer and guitarist with the Keef Hartley Band in 1968. Signing to Decca's Deram label, the band recorded a series of albums that embraced jazz, blues, and rock influences and achieved success as one of the great British bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
After the release of the album 'Overdog' in the spring of 1971, Miller recorded his first solo album, 'Bright City'. The result was a fine and inspiring record and led him to form Hemlock to record a follow-up album for Deram.
In addition to Miller Anderson, the band included Mick Weaver (keyboards), James Leverton (bass), Eric Dillon (drums), Peter Dines (organ), and guests Chris Mercer (saxophones) and Pete Willsher (pedal steel guitar). The band's only album was a fine blend of folk and rock influences.
