1972's Speech: Steamhammer's Incredible Swan Song
EPYSODE 79: Speech by Steamhammer.
Guest: Louis Cennamo.
Additional commentary by the Psychedelic Wizard, Uncle Herff.
This week we delve into 1972's Speech, the final album by Steamhammer. A masterful blend of blues-rock, progressive textures, and psychedelic experimentation. Speech showcases the band at a creative peak during an adventurous time in British rock.
With help from bassist Louis Cennamo, we learn how he achieved that unique sound never before heard.
And get a load of this: with Louis' blessing, we were able to include snippets of a couple tracks from the "lost" Steamhammer album, Axis, the album recorded after Speech that has never been released.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Steamhammer, this epysode offers a deep dive into one of the most underrated British rock albums of the decade.
I hope you dig Speech as much as I do.
