Holy shit! Did I ever overlook this thing all these years! Reissue of tremendous 1968 heavy psych. A couple of these tracks will just tear your head clean off. Of course, there's also your more typical Steppenwolf kinda 60s rock on here as well, but the 1st and 4th songs are pretty damn wild and heavy for the time.

This is the group Bobby Arlin formed after he quit The Leaves in 1967. Arlin's chops with The Hook outshines what he did in The Leaves in my opinion and it's hard to believe it's the same guitarist! Solid proof of what an impression Clapton and Hendrix made for young rock musicians back in the day! This album, "The Hook Will Grab You" which was released by UNI in 1968, was my first exposure to this power trio. I saw the back of the cover and knew this album had some groovy sounds in the grooves! Well, I was correct on my initial hunch. The first thing that hooked me was the production and Bobby's guitar tone which reminded me of CREAM (almost sounds like Felix Pappalardi produced it). I eventually got into every tune. "Son Of Fantasy" was very heavy and far out for early 68'. The song pulsates with tube amp power and LSD soaked lyrics, not to mention an awesome right and left channel guitar assault. Bluesy, but all acid. The lighter pop rock side of The Hook like "You Know I Do" have a charm that's NOT cheesy or bubblegum sounding. Arlin's riffs are not too shabby and can be mentioned in the same sentence as Eric Clapton as is demonstrated in "Holmes" and "Plug Your Head In". I love the "Garbage Man" and "Dimples" is fun too! This debut is in my top 20 favorite 60's albums. The import German CD on Lizard Records is the one and only reissue that I know of and the sound quality is excellent and sounds a little bit better than the record (I have an original near mint pressing), althought I DO NOT THINK it was remastered from the original studio tapes
