the Tapestry of Delights:
This was a long running soul and blues influenced outfit who were very popular on the club circuit. Perhaps their finest moment was We Can Help You, a whimsical slice of late sixties pop, which surprisingly wasn't a hit - it reached No. 26 in the NME chart, leading to an appearance on "Top of The Pops", but in the week of their appearance, the company pressing the single was on strike, and consequently there were no singles in the shops! Of their other releases, Headline News was an Edwin Starr cover; Emergency 999 was played on the Northern soul scene and Gonna Fix You Good was a Little Anthony and The Imperials cover.
As you can see from the line-up information some pretty prestigious musicians passed through Bown's band. When he called it a day in 1974 he went to work for CBS Records A&R Department.
The reissue of Outward Bown includes We Can Help You, along with their version of All Along The Watchtower, which impressed Hendrix sufficiently enough for Jimi to start including it in his set, plus other goodies such as the Bee Gees influenced Sally Green. The album failed to happen, and Jess Roden left to pursue a solo career, with the band taking on a more 'progressive' sound.
