1970 studio album by Bloodrock From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bloodrock is the debut from the Fort Worth, Texas, hard rock band Bloodrock, released on 16 March 1970 by label Capitol Records. The cover art was designed by producer Terry Knight. AllMusic described the album in terms of hard rock and early "proto-metal", akin to Deep Purple. The group's similarities to Grand Funk Railroad in overall sound and singing style led critics to understand Knight’s interest in the band. The album "remains a cult favorite among fans of hard rock."[1] The Rolling Stone Record Guide awarded zero stars out of five to all of the band's albums.[5]
