What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

@nutty  - I'm a big Crack the Sky fan too. Interesting story - Crack the Sky is not from Baltimore as many people believe. They were from Weirton, WV, a small steel town near Pittsburgh. Due to a record distribution problem, their first album was only readily available in Baltimore, so they built up a big fan base there, and many rockers in that city claim Crack the Sky as their own.

My college roommate was from Weirton, WV and was a big fan of his local band. We played a lot of Crack the Sky in College......

Another big Crack the Sky fan, thanks to Reubent tbh.

However even I can’t stretch to imagine them as the Beatles on steroids, sorry but just no...lol

I have most all their earlier albums but  I’m not sure I realized how good Crack The Sky is until their "Live Sky" album. The musicianship is phenomenal. On one song they flow in and out of different melodies & time changes so smoothly as to make you wonder how they accomplished that. They just make it flow which takes tremendous talent to weave different fabrics and make it sound great.
It may be "Live Sky" which makes me see their similarities to the Beatles. Their harmonies are spot on when the play "The Walrus" on the live Sky album. And their repertoire is so varied as to emulate the Beatles who were also had an extensive library of songs .

BTW, I didn’t come up the Beatles on Steroids but once I heard it I thought it fit better than any other description.

John Fogerty: Centerfield
Suzanne Vega: Solitude Standing.
