Британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 1967 году в Лестере, Англия, и исполнявшая оригинальную разновидность прогрессивного рока, с элементами блюза, фолка, джаза, рок-кабаре и психоделии. Характерной особенностью Family было постоянное присутствие в составе двух и более мультиинструменталистов, создававших насыщенные звуковые полотна в сложных, необычных аранжировках. Регулярно гастролируя с лидерами прог- и блюз-рока - Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, The Nice и Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Family, в отличие от них, не добились коммерческих результатов в США...

Британская рок-группа Family была организована в далеком 1966 году и просуществовала до 1973 года. Несмотря на отсутствие серьезного коммерческого успеха, коллектив оставил заметный след в истории прогрессивного рока. Имея сравнительно небольшую известность на родине, в США группа осталась практически неизвестной для массового слушателя. За семь лет своего существования музыканты этого неординарного ансамбля перепробовали целый ряд стилей и направлений, что сделало прогрессивный рок намного богаче и сильно расширило его рамки. В первую очередь Family известна благодаря специфическому пению своего фронтмена Роджера Чепмена (Roger Chapman), которое некоторые критики охарактеризовали как «электрическое блеяние». Название коллективу предложил известный американский продюсер и исполнитель Ким Фоули (Kim Fowley). Музыканты регулярно выступали на сцене в двубортных костюмах, напоминая отпетых мафиози. Фоули в шутку обозвал их «семьей» и название прижилось. Будучи частью лондонской андеграундной тусовки, Family расположили к себе многих известных в шоу-бизнесе людей. Их первый сингл продюсировал сам Джимми Миллер (Jimmy Miller), а дебютный альбом – Дэйв Майсон (Dave Mason) из Traffic. Диск «Music in a Doll's House» вышел летом 1968 года, и всем сразу стало понятно, что время The Beatles безвозвратно ушло. Совершенно новый подход к музыке, нетипичные аранжировки, странный вокал – все говорило о том, что в рок-музыке началась новая эра. После выпуска альбома Family перебрались из родного Лестера в Лондон и, оправдывая свое название, начали жить одной семьей (коммуной). В своей документальной повести «Групи» Дженни Фабиан и Джонни Бирн, проводя немало времени с коллективом, красочно описали тот период истории лондонского андеграунда. В книге Family выступают под псевдонимом «Relation» и ведут жизнь далекую от консервативных англиканских взглядов. Второй альбом «Family Entertainment» уже был не таким психоделичным, как первый, и даже сумел достичь 6-го места в британском хит-параде. После выхода пластинки у Family началось турне по Америке, но заокеанская публика не смогла достойно оценить новаторские музыкальные наработки коллектива. Начались серьезные изменения в составе, что не могло не повлиять на стиль их музыки. Уже обновленным составом Family записали свой третий лонгплей «A Song for Me», который достиг 4-го места в хит-параде, хотя и был немного проще, чем два предыдущих диска. Тем не менее, с выходом каждого нового альбома, новаторство и экспериментальный подход к музыке у музыкантов не иссякает. Вполне возможно, что именно благодаря этому некоммерческому подходу, группе так и не удалось стать в один ряд с грандами британской прогрессивной сцены того периода. Последний альбом группы «It's Only A Movie» 1973 года по звучанию стал напоминать американские группы первой половины 70-х. Family были в отличной музыкальной форме, но с сочинительством и аранжировками у музыкантов явно были проблемы. После выхода этой пластинки и отыграв несколько концертов, участники коллектива, распрощавшись друг с другом, продолжили свою карьеру в других, не менее известных группах.
