Earth Omen

Third album from the American rockers, released in 1972. Having undergone personnel changes, the band shed their blues-based rock sound and continued in a more prog rock vein with a dash of psychedelia, due largely to the addition of new singer Jon Wearing, guitarist Craig Webb and keyboardist Larry Zelanka to the band. Three albums on from their Top Ten 1970 hit single, the band had toned down the thunderous fuzz guitar-laden blast of House Of The Rising Sun , to present an album of music with a message, starting with the cover concept of two frozen humans, in tandem with the album's ecological themes.
