Ich hatte die Musik auf dem Tonband, auf der Musikcassette endlich habe ich sie auf CD. Interessant ist diese Zusammenstoß des englischen Blueses mit soulig-funkiger Interpretation von Martha Velez.

erinnerte sich in einem Interview an diese Besatzung in einzelner Songs :
The musicians on "Fiends and Angels" track by track from what Martha remembers are:
1. I'm Gonna Leave You

2. Swamp Man

Der Name der Platte ist ihr eingefallen als sie beobachtete das Verhalten von Musiker ( sie war schon damals eine diplomierte Psychologin) :
"The album title, "Fiends and Angels" came to me because everyone was such a fiend, ferocious, dangerous, mad about playing, that is when they played, and sweet, pristine, shy and innocent angelic when they were not playing."
Sonst kann ich diese wunderbare Rezi von Firebyrd nicht zufügen !
Ps. Koss in "Swampland" ist einfach göttlich !
