heavy

Heavy (1968) is the first album of Acid Rock formation Iron Butterfly and set the bar for their following breakthrough In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. It contains raw songs with the psychedelic rock sound that Iron Butterfly would become famous for: a loose vibe, heavy riffs, pulsating organs, thunderous drums and bluesy soloing. Highlights include the groovy "Fields Of Sun", the reverb-laden "Iron Butterfly Theme" and an infectious cover of "Get Out Of My Life, Woman" by Allen Toussaint. Heavy is the only Iron Butterfly album that features the all-original line-up.
