The Helpful Soul was a japanese pearl
formed in Kyoto in 1968 and released only two LPs in 1969. The story
that the leader, guitarist and vocalist of the group Junio Nakahara
after opening a show for the Blues Creation with Helpful Soul was
"delighted" with the sound of the Blues Creation that decided to change
his name to Tstomu Ogawa, ended the group and formed another band: Too
Much, with a more distinctive sound and releasing an album in 71 .
Post here the group's second album, curiously titled First Album. 7 tracks bring great heavy psychedelic blues, acid and very stoned, getting clear influences of bands like Cream and Hendrix, some covers are present, as You Got Me Floatin' and Spoonful . Some good and long jams can be heard, highlight for noisy guitar and "nervous" drums, tracks as "Peace for Fools" , "Spoonful" and also "Crossroads" deserve to be heard with more attention, all the lyrics are in English .
Pearl of high quality, highly recommended for those who enjoy heavy acid blues.
