Well, I'm not that far into listening to this playlist, but first guess... they're kinda dull. Or maybe more charitably, the Adult Contemporary charts aren't the most visible.
Excellent composition and production. Sometimes less is more. Unfortunately this song didn’t receive any airplay that I can remember in America. This one is a hidden gem.
Anyone else hear how similar this is to Graham Parker’s “White Honey”? Guess it makes sense, considering Brinsley and Bob played on that song, and Nick produced it.
When prog rockers get bored being psychedelicized they tune up and cut the fat. Bout the most genuine band ever there was and could be called a "bar band" and it not be slander!
jergens chris well of course Chris at this point they were far removed from Kip Lodge but I'd say more of a psychedlicized version of Prog ala Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead not Floyd Genesis and Yes etc ... Strung out country rock. Most seminal rock tomes like Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of tock 1983 edition calls them before Silver Pistol Prog rock too. actually where I nicked it at.
jergens chris I'd also say that my idea of Progressive music and yours and most is different. Got to remember we all look at all the different genres today from a more 21st century view then when it was going on. I would time stamp that as about 1975 the business literary description came about meaning there was now Punk Disco Country Rock Heavy Metal Funk etc. Progressive was anything not played on AM and the rest was on FM, at least in the States. Not completely articulate enough to speak of Brit/Euro radio music playing standards.
OGWT November 6 1073, Brinsley Schwarz played two numbers and Surrender To The Rhythm was the other one. It's on TH-cam separately, but I can't find the complete OGWT performance anywhere.
How did this band never make it huge? It's a question that I have asked since 1972. There is hope. And there is an anchor.
Hope ... Anchor ... very good. Anyone else get the reference?
I don't know why they weren't bigger, but I'm kind of glad they weren't as it meant I could see them up close at the Torrington for about 50p!
Problem was there were too many Hope and Anchors amongst the record-buying public.

Can't get enough of Brinsley Schwarz, saw them 1973 Isleworth Poly, Dr Feelgood as support, did'nt get much better
Cool.....wring order...this is horrible and derivative
Ian Gomm. My God, I never thought I'd see this again. He did this on his first solo album, "Gomm With The Wind". Very good album.
I love that Ian Gomm album.....
always loved this one
Great. Can't get enough of the Brinsleys!
This stuff is out of sight. BS is an outstanding group I hope to see more
footage this group.

Very much so
Got this on Ian Gomm's solo album 'Summer Holiday', great rock n roll version on a terrific album.
They play/sound like friends.
There is a sense of respect/cooperation rarely
seen.
Great, groovin' tune!
Nicks killin' the bass.

prog rockers? Dunno anything about that but these boys got their psychedelia out of their system as Kippington Lodge (complete with Tomorrow covers!)

It's usually the Surrender to the Rhythm OGWT that gets played but I love this one equally

Just brilliant
Great band.
Love it. Hopefully it stays up, for whatever reason the BS clips get taken down.
Add horns and this is almost Northern Soul.
Great observation
Brinsley Schwartz did a live gig in Utopia, Elsloo (netherlands) on 16.11.1974
👍👍👍
Brilliant!
The Brinsleys were TOP X
Hey, I didn't know Trey Anastasio was in a band before Phish...
@BEN14680 Well said m8 your so right cowells puppets now this is a real band and it doesnt age does it
Sounds like the Lovin Spoonful.
Didn't know Derek Trucks was around in the early seventies!
Nice hair, Nick......
While im here does anyone have , don't lose your grip on love they could put up ?
Nice!
GREAT BAND..FUCKIN X FACTOR KARAOKE TRACK BANDS WRECKIN PUB SCENE NOWADAYS
Could Nick Lowe look any dorkier? Thank heavens this band failed and he went on to fame with Dave Edmunds and as a solo artist!
When some English groups tried to be American. Horrible. Meanwhile down the road The Kinks, Dr Feelgood and many others were doing the buis
Actually Dr Feelgood were friends of BS because they were Brinsley support band for a while
