Hurdy Gurdy is guitarist Claude Bohling's group before joining Secret Oyster. Their sole album is legendary in collecting circles, and it's easy to see why given the sheer amount of invention within the tight confines of a guitar trio. About half the album is straight up hard rock / blues, and the other half puts on their creative hat and flies to the cosmos. In this way, Hurdy Gurdy reminds me of The Human Beast or Clear Blue Sky. Some superb soloing from Bohling throughout.
The CD offers three excellent bonus tracks, very relevant to the album proper.
