ReplyDeleteCapability Brown was an English harmony-rock band that released two albums on Charisma in 1972 and 1973. Half the band continued in the funk-rock combo Krazy Kat.
In 1973, Capability Brown issued Voice in the UK and Europe on Charisma. Side one contains two originals: the briskly strummed and harmonized “Sad Am I” (Ferguson) and the shuffling six-minute rocker “Keep Death Off the Road – Drive On the Pavement” (Nevin).
The latter features soprano harmonies that foreshadow Queen. Also included are covers of songs by Alan Hull (“I Am and So Are You”) and Steely Dan (“Midnight Cruiser“). Side two consists of the 20-minute suite “Circumstances – In Love, Past, Present, Future Meet.”
The album was produced by John Mills (Stealers Wheel, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Nazareth, Donald Byrd, Johnny Hammond, Bobbi Humphrey) and engineered by John Burns (T2, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Atlantis, Refugee, Trapeze).
The zip-lipped gatefold cover was designed by Hipgnosis.
In 1974, Voice was issued stateside on Passport Records.
Capability Brown folded in 1976, at which point Ferguson, White, and Willis formed funk-rockers Krazy Kat, which issued two 1976/77 albums on Mountain Records.
