Our Take

Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog" commands attention like a drunk sailor demanding one last pint before the ship sets sail. This album sails the high seas of psychedelic rock with a swagger that would make Blackbeard blush. From the moment the title track kicks in with its lush orchestration and haunting vocals, it's clear that Procol Harum is on a mission to plunder the hearts of music lovers everywhere.

But it's not all smooth sailing for this band of merry marauders. Tracks like "Wreck of the Hesperus" and "Pilgrims Progress" veer dangerously close to pretentious waters, threatening to capsize the whole album. However, just when you think they're about to walk the plank, Procol Harum manages to steer the ship back on course with tracks like "Boredom" and "Crucifiction Lane", which showcase their ability to blend complex songwriting with irresistible hooks.

Overall, "A Salty Dog" is a treasure chest of musical delights that will leave you feeling like you've just swashbuckled your way through a stormy sea of sound. So grab your parrot, hoist the Jolly Roger, and set sail with Procol Harum on this rollicking adventure of an album. Just don't forget to bring a life jacket – you never know when this salty dog might throw you overboard. Arrr!

About the artist

Procol Harum

Procol Harum: The Whimsical Wizards of Rock and Roll If there's one band that defines the term "eclectic", it's Procol Harum. These quintessentially British blokes burst onto the scene in the late 1960s with their iconic hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale", a song that's as trippy as a David Lynch film and as haunting as a ghost story told around a campfire. Led by the enigmatic Gary Brooker, Procol Harum's music is a delightful mishmash of baroque pop, psychedelic rock, and good old-fashioned rhythm and blues. With their classically-inspired melodies and Brooker's soulful vocals, they've managed to carve out a niche for themselves in the ever-evolving landscape of rock and roll. But don't let their whimsical sound fool you - these guys are serious musicians. Just listen to their album "A Salty Dog" and you'll hear the intricate arrangements, poetic lyrics, and masterful musicianship that set them apart from their peers. It's no wonder they've been praised by everyone from music critics to fellow rock legends. And let's not forget their legendary live performances. Procol Harum is known for putting on a show that's equal parts spectacle and musical virtuosity. From Brooker's mesmerizing stage presence to the band's tight-knit chemistry, every second of their concert is a testament to their enduring talent and showmanship. So whether you're a die-hard Procol Harum fan or a newcomer to their enchanting sound, one thing's for sure: these whimsical wizards of rock and roll are here to stay. So sit back, relax, and let the magic of Procol Harum wash over you. You won't regret it, mate.
