The International Submarine Band - Safe at Home (USA 1969)

Roddus Album of the Day Again




This one and only album from the Gram Parson led International Submarine Band is a bonafied classic. Very early country rock( though much more closer to pure country than rock) this album just oozes class .Gram certainly brought a new freshness and coolness to country with this effort."Luxury Liner" recalls Johnny cash but with harmonised vocals and is a stand out on an album full of great music. Johnny also turns up with the cover of his "Fulsom Prison Blues" which transmutes into a cover of Crudups "That's Allright" The first track "Blue Eyes" sets the standards in musical quality and lyrical themes, which are certainly country to the core.
A piece of perfection of the genre and worth 5/5.

Get this Here and enjoy.
