Lightning – Lightning (1970)

Artist: Lightning
Title: Lightning
Year: 1970
Format: LP
Label: P.I.P.

Hard Rock group from Minneapolis, this is the group that  Zip Caplan formed after leaving The Litter.

Though very good overall, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated listening to it.  ( i don’t know tymeshifter, i thought it was a pretty decent album. RT). The hard rock music is all decent enough, but just seems as though it could have been better, as if they were holding back.

The inclusion of an inordinate amount of slower material does nothing to help the situation. But, nonetheless, their talent shines through. (tymeshifter RYM)
