C.O.B.

Clive Palmer was just within the Incredible String Music group for just one album before departing, also to most rock and folk fans vanished from the radar display following leaving the ISB. Nevertheless, the guitarist-singer do surface in the first 1970s because the innovator of C.O.B., an acronym for Clive’s First Music group. On their 1st album, Nature of Like (1971, CBS), the C.O.B. trio was finished by multi-instrumentalists and performers John Bidwell and Mick Bennett, with various other music artists (including Ralph McTell) financing a hands on some paths. The record is really a surprisingly engaging little bit of rock and roll- and psychedelic-tinged English folk music similar to the Amazing String Music group at their most melodic. It rounds off a number of the grating bent records, vocals, and weirdness that both got the ISB some cred with psychedelic enthusiasts and irritated others. C.O.B. also do a second recording, Moyshe McStiff as well as the Tartan Lancers from the Sacred Center, in 1972 on Polydor.
