Great moments in obscure “classic” rock ‘n’ roll albums: Leaf Hound, “Growers of Mushroom,” 1971

For heavy blues rock, it doesn’t get much heavier than the debut album by Leaf Hound, which went largely unnoticed at the time, but enjoyed a revival of interest with the “stoner rock” crowd in the 1990s, leading Peter French, the original lead singer, to reform the band in the 2000s. There are so many songs to like on this remarkable album. My personal favorites are “Sawdust Ceasar” and “Drowned My Life in Fear,” but really the whole thing is worth a listen if you like this genre. Feel free to add links to other Leaf Hound favorites, including from the later reincarnation of the band.
