White Lace and Strange is an ass-kicking, free-flowing, mind-boggling heavy psych masterpiece; the musical equivalent to an amorphous, three-dimensional mirage of stunning iridescence viewed while stoned on Kush. No need to get wordy, though... anyway, it's a tough act to follow, but they do well by varying the level of intensity with I Loved A Woman, which is rather mellow heavy psych marked by aggressively strummed major (and seventh) chords where you'd least expect them, and some extremely psychedelic harmonies on the chorus. Track 3 is a fairly good country rock song, followed by a truly excellent cover of Hendrix's blues rock classic Red House, and then we have a wacky little psychedelic hard rocker called Moon Child, which I would give 5 stars to. Dear Dream Maker is a more solemn, minor-key psych venture, preceding the peaceful, half country/half psychedelic instrumental title track, and then there's the 7 minute-plus closer; a splendid amalgamation of blues rock, heavy psych, and hard rock. I give it 5 stars as well. So goes my summary. If you like the psychedelic/blues/hard rock thing in the vein of groups like Cream, the Experience, and Blue Cheer, then you'll probably find this worthwhile, 'cause that's what Thunder and Roses is all about. You just can't repeat the names of those genres enough when talking about this group and their only album. KOTBS is the best ultra-obscure find that I own. Chris Bond, I have to mention, is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard; he's got the control, technique, and ability to produce rad sounds of a certified master, yet he's practically unknown. 3.81 is a respectable RYM rating, but IMHO it just isn't enough.
