The Third Estate

"Years Before The Wine" 1976





















This US group which released five-hundred copies of this self-produced album in 1973, plays a kind of music which, due to its semi-acoustic melodies, semi-folk ballads and precious feminine vocal parts (Reminding of RENAISSANCE) or masculine voices, is closer to British rock than to American one. Their sweet, cool melodies and their delicate and sometimes electric rock (thanks to the use of fuzz-guitar) evoke THE MOODY BLUES and the STRAWBS.

I have to say, this is in musical terms one of the best sounding of those "limited release" efforts. Though I do wonder about the sudden disappearance of the female vocalist after track 2. But it certainly is an eclectic sounding album, on the mellow side, but with a remarkably varied sound. Very impressive over all (not unlike Pearly Before Swine).
