Good ones - Free and James Gang were 2 of my favorites as well
It's almost criminal that this band was not bigger, and that so many are unaware of their music.
One of my all time favorite bands. Somewhere I Never Traveled is one stellar album. Unfortunately for them they got labeled as a balladeer/yacht rock band due to their big hits You're The Only Woman, How Much I Feel, Biggest Part Of Me.
Agree, good music. But the "fruit salad" name didn't help things.
Did you ever hear los lobos ceasar rosas solo album, pretty good!
Ambrosia would always stick a couple of radio friendly ballads into their albums but everything else was some of the best prog rock anywhere particularly for an American band.
Gawd, u2 left out Cactus……..turn in yer backstage pass @ township.
Having Alan Parsons helping out on your first 2 albums certainly helps
He put out a few awesome albums as well! Firefall was another Ambrosia type band that just cranked out solid album after solid album!
I had forgotten about Firefall. Was a fan of them as well, however Firefall was more in the country/rock genre, unlike Ambrosia.
Lead singer for Firefall was Rick Roberts formally with the Burrito Brothers. He also attended USC in the late 60’s- early 70’s. Was a member of the band Speed Limit 35 who played around town a lot in those days. Saw them many times.
