Hustler - 1974 - High Street - UK Hard Rock

Personnel:
Tony Beard - Drums
Kenny Daughters - Keyboards

Steve Haynes - Vocals

Mickey Llewelyn - Guitar, Vocals

Kenny Lyons - Bass, Vocals

Henry Spinetti - Drums

A heavy rock outfit with a good reputation. High Street is very much in Free/Bad Company mould. Tracks like Just Leave A Good Man and Jack The Lad are hard rocking songs with strong melodies and good vocals and guitar work. There are some mellower moments on Let The Wind Blow and Miranda, whilst The Hustler is reasonably orchestrated. Get Outa Me 'Ouse, the only track where Micky Llewelyn sings, is in a more pub-rock direction and Piranhas has a long instrumental break with keyboard progressive overtones in a Deep Purple direction. A good example of this genre.
