Keef Hartley

Keef Hartley Band, Halfbreed

Keef Hartley Band, Halfbreed

My scheduled posts was not working a little while ago I fixed the bug and wrote a test post to make sure that it was working.

In that test post I mentioned that I had lost a post about Keef Hartley.  I was surprised and pleased to see the number of people who had found this blog while searching for Keef Hartley.

Surprised because I assumed that few people remembered the glorious music made by Keef, and obviously pleased because they did.

In the late 60s The Keef Hartley band was ‘my’ band.  I loved them, from the genius of Miller Anderson (the best guitarist I had seen up to that point), to the strange facial expressions of Gary Thain.  Halfbreed was a seminal album for me.  It was a prime example of what was good about real rock.

It sounded like real grown up music to me, and still does.
