Billy Bond


1971 Billy Bond y La Pesada del Rock and Roll
Link: wv

Here we have a picturesque, Peronist rock album recorded by Billy Bond y La Pesada, a troupe congregated around the rotund figure of singer Giuliano Canterini (AKA "Billy Bond"), featuring Pappo and Spinetta among other musicians.

The songs are catchy or attractive enough to hold the attention of the listener, bluesy and psychedelic for the most part, heavy for their time, reminding one of early Hawkwind and Manal, while the lyrics (in Spanish) tend to be sarcastic or combative.
"Salgan al sol" (penned by Manal's drummer Javier Martínez), Pappo's "Divertido (Reventado)", and Spinetta's "El parque" are the standouts from this "Billy Bond y La Pesada del Rock and Roll".

In the end, the album sounds old, and the production leaves something to be desired, but the intrinsic humor of this Argentine 'supergroup', and some heavy rockers included make it a pioneering artifact for the local rock scene
