"Wildfire's only album is a great heavy psych record from the start to the finish. The album is damn heavy for it's time and that roaring guitar is just a treat to listen to if you're into this kind of music. The band sounds very good and even if the songwriting could be better I can say that they succeeded with this record really well.
The album was originally just a demo record so it wasn't officially released until 1996. The original demo pressing is extremely rare and valuable nowadays which is not surprising. It's easy to recommend this strong album for anyone who enjoys hard rock, psychedelia or early heavy metal. Smokin' contains some impressive heavy psych jamming and it gets four stars from me. Almost 4,5 stars actually"

Amazing!!!!!!
Great !
MAGNIFICO....
A cross between GFR and Free. Not bad. I like those two bands.
And I like this band.
This band really sounds great nothing better than '70s and the '60s music I grew up in those years and I miss some dearly keep playing the best music ever thank you you too we always all to you
Nice. I'd searched all over a couple of years ago on youtube for them but couldn't find anything. And here it is. I saw them at Mission County Park in Southside San Antonio back I in 1970. lol - my first exposure to freaks. Weed thick in the air and all peace and love. Blew my mind seeing all that. Grew my hair out after than and still half way down my back all these years later.
Thanks for posting! My uncle Donny is the drummer. I was looking for this to show my boyfriend for inspiration to play on his own drums. 😁
My uncle’s older brother (my dad) was also a drummer in another California popular band from the 70’s. They were called The Second Time. Really proud to have two amazing drummers in my family. ❤️
Awesome, Randy Love is my uncle! I remember meeting your uncle a few times, he would come over to my grandparents home with Randy on occasions when I was visiting with them. I remember talking with him about baseball! I was about 12 or 13 at the time. Nice Guy!
Dude your uncle is a sick ass drummer. Like seriously this is some of the best acid rock drumming I’ve ever heard
NICE.
SEOMPI.
Hi! Are you still in contact with you uncle!?
I’m a guitarist...and half way thru the first track..I said to myself..why can’t I find a drummer like that?.....Don’t Look For Me...great guitar and bass
Man you made my day and I'm 70 years old, luv it.
We're never too old for good music.
@@Mapesy00 ...and, although it easily seems to be so, never to young .😃. ( Not talkin' about myself : l was ten years old in 1975, too young for watching live, but vinyls already gave me acess on the exciting world of rock.😊
Dave I luv your use of spelling “Luv”
Hey Dave, be strong! Listen rock! Wish you health!
Борис Федяев thank you my friend 🇱🇷
Wildfire guitarist Randy Love is The Beach Boys Mike Loves cousin. This band was so much better then the beach boys imao
The Beach Boys suck so bad they had to steal music from Charlie Manson
Bien por haber subido a esta banda de hardrock tocan muy bien gracias
Great guitar player.
I could tell in the first 15 seconds. Good stuff!
Apples and oranges
Howdy from Dallas Texas. I saw wildfire December 18th 1970 at the State Fair Music Hall in Dallas opening for a group called Johnny Winter and. The main thing I remember about wildfire is they did that song by The Kinks all the day and all of the night there is a poster on the internet of that concert that sells for $500. I own the poster of course I didn't pay that much for it it mentions special guests wildfire! One of my first heavy concerts that I saw as a child a 14
Russell Crawford, Wild, man.
Humble Pie release an album called smoking. I like this better.

Hello there.
A lot of Texas metal back then.

Acid rock

01 - Stars in the Sky 00:01
See the stars in the sky
What does that mean
What does that mean
And the birds are flying high
What does that mean
What does that mean
Oh, one thing I learned long ago
I learned it long ago
Beauty is in everything
Beauty is in everything
Oh, beauty is in everything
Beauty is in everything, yeah
Oh, ah, oh, oh
And there’s a song to be sung
Lord I’m gonna sing it
There’s lots of things gotta be done
But who’s gonna do them
Oh, but people, people won’t you be happy
People, won’t you try to be nice
Beauty is in everything
Beauty is in everything
Ah, beauty is in everything
Beauty is in everything, yeah
Do you feel?
02 - Down to Earth 05:47
Seems like such a long time
Since I first saw your mind
But now just look
What’s opened up for me
I see your face in the countryside
No more will I run and hide
Cause out there
No one stares at me
At me, nobody’s looking at me
In the country, there’s no one staring at me
And I remember back at home
When I was sitting all alone
Without you there
To aid and comfort me
My head was spinning all around
But now I’d like to come back down
Down to earth
Where everything is free
Free, yes where everything is free
In the country, it was meant to be
Clean, oh the air should be clean
Know what I mean, oh the air should be clean
I’m saying that the time must be found
Got to get back to the ground
Back to earth where everything is free
We’ve got to go back down
And give our bodies to the ground
Down to earth where life is very free
I’m saying the time must be found
Got to get back to the ground
Back to earth where everything is free
We’ve got to go back down
And give our bodies to the ground
Down to earth where life is very free
Free

Gonna be gentleness and kind, yeah
Cause time will tell the truth
Time will tell the truth
Time will tell the truth
04 - Don't Look for Me 13:32
When the skies come tumbling down
Don’t look for me cause I won’t be there
And when the seas flood all their shores
Don’t look for me, baby, I won’t be around
All I wanted to do, yeah, I just wanted to find you
Help, help me, oh I’m falling out of place
They set it up for me, set up for me so

It’s love that you need

I don’t believe all this violence, yes,
I don’t believe it’s a must, a must
Mr. Citizen, in the street
Why do I look up at your feet
Aren’t I, aren’t I as good as you
There’s a man coming my way
Oh Lord, what was that, what did I say wrong
All I said was I just want peace yeah
You got to love your brother
Why can’t you love your brother
Oh Lord I hate to say it
Love your brother

Love your brother
Oh Lord I hate to say it
Love your brother
I hate to say it
Sinking in quicksand
Sinking in quicksand
Sinking in quicksand
Now this is a proper power trio!I agree with the GFR and Budgie comparisons, I'm also hearing some Mountain and James Gang. LOVE the bass playing on this. Whole thing very well recorded too.
I hear GFR and Free. This is a great band. It's a shame they didn't release more records.
Another great find! People sure played the hell out of their instruments back in the 70's. Very good trio, love the bass on this one. Thanks!
The thing is,back in the 70's people had bands at parties and weddings and such.There were garage bands on every other block.
Hard and heavy great band
After the 60s British Invasion, the early 70s evolved into more bare boned power trio rock like GFR, Rush, ZZ Top, James Gang, The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It's too bad that these guys in Wildfire didn't get the national exposure that the other power trios of the day got.
That's right, pal. And I add it: Blue Cheer, Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes and Bloodrock, among others. 🙂 Greetings. 🤙🏼 5-4
exposure leads to major record labels and radio friendly airplay.
AKA Selling out. Fuck that, keep it indie
There were lots of great underground bands in the 60s who had a hard sound and weren't buying into the Beatles bullshit.
É bem melhor hoje, que eles estiveram guardados, para hoje, não ter muita gente, ignorado,um trabalho tão precioso , natural.
ZZ top and rush never were power trío band their rock were not too heavy neither complex nor heavy
totally stoned heavy psych trio in the best american tradition!!!!!!! superb!!!!!!!!!
This is a great band!! Super fine musicians that
made an amazing album...should have made it
it big as they sure do have what it takes..and theyre
better than many others at the time....thanks for posting

Точно
Ku...są gdzie takie kapele się ukrywają ?- jestem przed siedemdziesiątka słucham muzy od ok 57 lat a tu takie perełki wypływają ja chcę być kotem i mieć 7 życ by zdążyć te setki kapel nieodkrytych posłuchac - albo chociaż że 100 - Pozdrowienia od miłosnika muzy Reginald " Rengi" z Polski🗽🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👉🍻🥃✌️🤠👋
Funny, right after I heard this, I took to ebay to see if I could find it on vinyl or CD...
Great album, super rare find❤️
Another hidden gem. Thank you!!
Killer stuff!!👍🔥🎸. The 70's ROCKED!!🎸🎸🔥🔥
the breakdown on Time Will Tell starting at 12:45 is so fucking good UGH I cannot help but bang my head, even with headphones listening in public
Thanks for posting. You can hear the thread to today's stoner/doom/psychedelic/hard rock/blues movement. Ahead of their time.
Except this is WAY MORE accomplished and dynamic
I've listened to this about 5 time in the last year and will listen to another 5 times and so on and so on. All the musicians are great. Glad I found this gem.
pure rock cheese . back to the country where every thing is free and no one stares back at me" REALLY!!! " by the way , guitar riffs make this sound like the band" budgie" sometimes ?ah those were the days ? a bottle of blue nun a prawn cocktail and 18 inch bags . hahaheeeheee.
hippy Grand funk railroad sound ... same kinda melodic lead guitar riffamelodda ... drummathumpabubba drums with clankering cymbals idealistic of that hippy sound ... also reminiscent of canned heat
Rock verdadero, sencillo, humilde, bien tocado. Me encanta!!! Gracias, MYBEST! 👏💖👄🎼
Definitely can see the freedom of this bands style The 70s were the fucking best wish everything was free you could see the commercialism start real big late 70s And the corporate takeover of everybody involved in music money money money it’s so sad money ruins every thing all the fucking time Let alone the struggles this band had to go through if you didn’t have money you didn’t have equipment .This band is a great American band Pledge of Allegiance to the music alliances of Free Rocking Bands throughout all lands under all gods and believes to be united with freedoms we stand
🤘
И в те времена и сегодня очень красиво и богато. Трое а как шикарно ! ! !
This is GENIUS !!!!!! Wow !!!!!! What flavor & musical 🎶 “juice” !!!!! Incredible find !!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤🙏❤️
The guitar player kicks axe! So does BestDream. Have no idea how he keeps finding all these lost gems. Must have quite a record collection.
Amazing album! 🎶👌
What a find ! A true masterpiece.
Reminds me another texan band from that era JOSEFUS.......always good rockin texan music. Thanks for sharing this unknown band (to me).
Wildfire was from San Diego California.
Sorry for the mistake...I thought it beacuse of the album cover: Brownwood Texas.
They were from Laguna Beach, California, but relocated in Austin, Texas. This was recorded in the same studio were Mariani also recorded their Perpetuum Mobile in 1970.
Wildfire emerged from the LA heavy psych scene, the same that gave us bands like The Hook, Steppenwolf, Fields, Alice Cooper, Supachief, Lee Michaels, Stack, Big Brother Feat. Ernie Joseph, Mad Dog, Zekes etc.
great obscure find. TH-cam algorithm knows what i like, just have to take a chance and click on something ive never heard of.
Great album :-)
Very rare
They may not be show biz hitmakers, but they are deep in the hearts of music lovers. They can always be proud they made their music.Thank you.
this had me from the very first moment. awesome bass sound right away. :)
Mind-blowing sound.
🎧🎧🎸🔊 🤘🤘🤘
There still has to be something said about the late 60s and early 70s power trios. Raw and powerful!!
You call yourself a Bassman, huh?
Some of the best music, most of it created from scratch, no form to follow, and you say, "There still has to be something said" for an era of so many great Bands.
God Forgives knuckleheads and Baptized Babies, but you? You've got a lot to learn.
I think, now, you just used a poor choice of words. Expand your musical prowess...
Try listening to some music other than the Bands you mentioned. Take care

There is a reissue on CD but it is really hard to find a copy....

From an open reel copy of the master, $12.99 plus $5 shipping. You can find vinyl copies on discogs. The 2006 Shadocks issue is the one from the master copy, but they're not cheap, start at $60 something plus s\h.

Mike G I agree man. i love me some Bang
I am listening to this album right now
I as of now hear it!
thanks, like it, especially the last track
Heavy stuff! Randy Love, the guitarist and vocalist, is Mike Love of the Beach Boys cousin! That's rad.
They got a great sound.
@@jcavazos7559 Thanks for the reply, now I can listen to this glorious album again! I tried to find a place to purchase a copy but it's so difficult to find I gave up. I might try searching again. It's just so obscure. >.
@@fartkerson Your Welcone.
First time hearing this band!! Wow! Excellent and pulsating!!!!! 🙂
Ja też a muzy słucham już ok 57 lat i nadal odkrywam coś nowego i wspaniałego bo na świecie powstało kawał muzyki i w jednym życiu nie jesteś wstanie ogarnąć wszystkiego a jest tej dobrej muzyki setki ba tysiące trzeba by mieć jak kot 7 życ i by w miarę wszystko ogarnęli a tak będzie żal opuszczać życie nie znając wszystkiego a cały czas nowe kapele kiełkuja - oj ja - Pozdrowienia od fana muzy z Polski Reginald " Rengi "-✌️👉🥃🍻🌹🤠🎸🎸🎸🎸🗽👍
Me too and l lived through that era .
I knew in the first 5 seconds that I would like this
Me Also
Me too. Love everything song and every note.
very tight rock band!
Eight songs.Eight masterpiece !
But above all,Free and Quicksand.
Great name, bless "Wildfire" Tommy Rich!
Que isso cara! Essa guitarra e esse baixo usando Fuzz no talo! Banda fantástica!
This sounds much far better than Black Sabbath and Cactus together. I wonder it needed 50 years to hear that phenomenon. Ceci est un son qui va plus loin que Black Sabbath et Cactus unifiés. Vraiment on nous offrait (d'acheter) seulement les figures de proue.
Fat bass chords after 12:45 although all this bass work is ✨,groove yall!
great album :)
Wow..such a very talented & tight band..great vocals & production..
these guys were much better than other bands but are unheard of..
Gran grupo buen rock muy fresco, gracias por compartir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool shit. I have the same Guild Bass. JS2. Great sound.
these guys cover it all,,,we're feeling freedom in music on these recordings,,,,,thats all been taken,, to push an agenda,,,stand up ,,,it's never too late,,,these guys & a lot of others deserve the credit
Frightening ly fantastic set of cords strung upon a bass rebound of that grand 70s sound find us more 3:28
Texas 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thats all I gotta say!
Hell yeah brother. Blood rock is good too.
@@goforbroke4428 I’ll check it out!!
Открытие для меня. Thank you so very group! Great rock band 🤘
This is ass kickin rock and roll
Randy, Danny & Donny...just love this one!!! Permanently have the impression to listen to them in a rehearsal room.( I like that jamming character/ one feels so close ) seriously: this record of "Wildfire" means great fun to me!!!
great band. i have the vinyl LP.😎🤘🏻
Wonderfull!!! "It's so very nice good de bom pra chuchu!"
Wildfire can smoke whatever, wherever, whenever they choose as far as I'm concened ! For a basically unknown three- some from Bumsfkville they are noteworthily good in their base obscurity.
Thanks again for yer liked "like", my Buddy, Dreamerman !
I smashed the like, my mouse is now broken. 10/10 would like again.
I like your style
meu irmão voce so posta pedrada,vc é de onde ? não existe canal igual ao seu

Reminds me of old Grand Funk Railroad...
I kinda think SilverChair sounds like them ;-) Thanks brother Dream
A cross between Grand Funk and Budgie? Lol
anon budgie rocks! :-)
with some Toad and May Blitz mixed in too :P
A very good album, the whole way through!
Uma essência dos Power Trios americanos, lamentavelmente não continuou.
Wow, this is rocking, also kinda doomy
Greaaaaat drummer
Still here we love ur post all good hard proto metal thanks again stay true death before disco
Been listening to this for a week or two now that frist song is awesome that bass line is jamming thanks
Chris Corvi Yes killer basslines
21:14 THE BEST
Reminds me of The James Gang.
Bought the 2019 reissue on LP when it came out. Looking to pick up both the 2006 and original LP (if i ever find one). It baffles me sometimes how talent like this doesn't make it big. One of my fav psych/hard rock albums ever. Donny (drummer) really stands out but they're all great.
Buenísimo
As I listen to this I can see that this was one of those classic albums where the second side was better than the first. Great Rock!
High class power trio rock!!! Anybody out there know how I can get hold of the album ?
a killer lead guitar album really
a band very similar to grandfunk
Hints of Grand Funk. Awesome band!
¡Raw rock! ¡Yei! Something that really missed nowadays. Greetings. 🤙🏼 5-4
"i live in Mannsville,Okla,
in Johnston County
and Brownwood,Texas is
in Brown County
which is 248
miles southwest from
where I live,
I don't if that's
where they are from

this but still from Texas....
a lot good bands

I'd heard this

by musicians before
but this the first time
i've heard their music,

My great aunt lived 20 minutes south of Brownwood , which is right in the middle of Texas, which I thought was in the middle of nowhere whenever I would visit her for the summer. I had no idea that anything this cool would come out of a place like that. And then I found out that Meat Loaf was born in Coleman, TX, which is the next big town west of Brownwood.
The Lone Star's answer to Cream!
The bass player in the photo is even playing a Gibson bass like Jack Bruce!
Love the Power Trio! These guys Rock
Another one i missed thanks so much for posting this love it
