The decade of the 70’s was arguably the greatest in the history of rock(my personal favorite) and this album from’71 is truly a lost gem that makes you wonder why the f#ck these guys never hit it big.  Stonehouse was one of the many groups that slipped through the cracks - of course that’s why there are  sites like this! It wouldn’t be obscure then would it, which is the point, right?

     Opinions are like assholes, everyone’s got one, but alas one man’s pleasure is another man’s poison and Stonehouse Creek is an example of that, In my opinion of course. Well enough of this rant and on to the task at hand.

    Firstly, I love how the band begins and ends with the subtle, acoustical reflection of their beautiful spot that they live, fishin etc.  Then they launch into Hobo, with it’s tasteful guitar and maniacal vocals, and I’m hooked.  The rest of the record follows this simple formula, and let’s face it, sometimes simplicity beats complicity.  Nuff said…
