HURDY GURDY are a great Danish trio, that formed in 1967 as "the Boom Boom Brothers". the name Hurdy Gurdy was first used during a London performance in 1968; Their first and only eponymous album, was recorded in '71, and is considered to be among the ten best Danish rock LPs of all time. The furious guitar playing of Claus Bohling is definitely the band's secret weapon, deftly maneuvering through heavy progressive, blues and jazz. The band brings to mind the first Jethro Tull album, and the influence of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath can also be heard, but Hurdy Gurdy are not mere 'sound-alikes', actually their sound is rather unique, particularly in the Eastern-influenced sitar-heavy tracks.
