Crow
March 7, 1971

Scott Bartell’s review was scathing. On Crow:
- “Pretentious and filled with an justified frenzy.”
- “They have a very professional sound, but their writing is just not very original, nor are their performing styles.”
- “Lead singer Dave Waggoner just seems like a smaller, less aware Joe Cocker, doing more screaming than feeling.”
- “Denny Craswell’s drum solo near the end was really simple-minded.” Ouch!
Bartell even gave it to another local favorite, Pepper Fog, saying that “they still play heavy acid-flavored blues a bit too loud. My ears were nearly turned off by the time the featured group came on.”
