Customer Reviews of The Black Sheep of the Family: The Anthology
British psychedelic blues After leaving the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968, Noel Redding formed the psychedelic blues band Fat Mattress, switching back to guitar from bass. Their first single "Naturaly/Iredescent Butterfly" and their first lp, "Fat Mattress" were both released in September, 1969, reaching the lower depths of the Billboard album charts, while having no real impact in the UK. The single and album both had interesting psychedelic sounds and typically "trippy" lyrics, and was full of pleasant harmonies and gentle guitar and keyboards. At its most interesting the band's sound resembled that of Spirit. Redding left in early, 1970, being replaced by guitarist Steve Hammond and organist Mick Weaver. A second album, "Fat Mattress II" was released in September, 1970, containing material recorded by the new band as well as tracks by the original configuration. The result was a patchwork album which failed to have any impact on the charts whatsoever. Before disbanding the band recorded material for a projected third album which was never released. "Black Sheep of the Family: The Anthology" contains the entirity of both lps, as well as 13 additional tracks, 3 of which have never before been released on cd. The discs have interesting moments. Unfortunately, the band never remained uniform long enough to establish an identity and this anthology reflects that reality. Nonetheless, it is a piece of the puzzle of English rock and roll, being Redding's first post-Hendrix stop, and the band has sufficient instrumental prowess and material to warrant a place in record collections.
