Classic Texas based hard rock from the original US stoner-rockers. Dirty heavy and raw with great songs and guitar work.

Authors of two albums published in 1970, Josefus are the quintessence of hard psych from the USA — a gritty sound featuring prominent guitar and a solid and agile rhythmic base. This second album by Josefus, released a year after their debut, confirms their place as one of the most interesting and underestimated bands of the era. Largely influenced by early Zeppelin and British blues, Josefus deftly brought late sixties hard rock into the 70s, anticipating sounds that would later become synonymous with bands like ZZ Top and giving birth to a genre that would eventually give way to heavy metal.
