Reflections On A Life - BLONDE ON BLONDE


Blonde on Blonde were spawned in 1967 out of a Welsh blues-rock band called the Cellar Set and took their name from the then-new Bob Dylan album of that title. Though decidedly guitar-based in their sound, the band's music also used psychedelic pop arrangements that gave it an almost orchestral majesty which, when coupled with sitar, lute, harpsichord and other unusual keyboards — as well as a tabla — gave them an appealingly exotic sound. Their live performances were frequently divided, à la Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, into acoustic and electric sets, in order to show off their full range. Unfortunately, this excellent album failed to sell any better than their prior releases, however, and the group broke up in 1972, shortly after its release.
