LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Authors of one sole album produced in 1971, Ilmo Smokehouse made a name for themselves during the early seventies thanks to their incessant gigging, often sharing the stage with names like MC5, Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Amboy Dukes, Brownsville Station, James Gang, Sugarloaf, Crow, The Flock and BB King! Thanks to their aggressive and captivating sound-a mix of heavy rock with blues/psych/jazz influences -- they were always well received. Ilmo Smokehouse was started by Craig Moore, bassist and singer for the legendary Gonn, whose "Blackout Of Gretely" was one of the most popular garage tunes of the late sixties. This reissue also includes seven previously unreleased bonus tracks!
