Gravy Train - Staircase to the Day (1974 Heavy Progressive)

GRAVY TRAIN were a British quartet who play a very on the progressive rock side of classic rock. "Staircase to the Day" is considered a classic in the prog rock circles and I must agree. GRAVY TRAIN blend the English style classic rock sound with progressive movements creating an excellent but very different style. "Staircase..." offers nice mood swing throughout and ranges from HENDRIX-like guitar driven moments to pastel / keyboard laden parts.
