Bloodstone: Natural High
Pete Wingfield, Let It Rock, April 1973
May I shout in your ear? The word is Bloodstone: no, not Bloodrock, Terry Knight's horror, nor my kind employer, the British Mr. Blunstone, but a black American vocal-instrumental six-piece, who've featured fleetingly in these pages as one critic's choice for perpetrating the worst album of '72 (their first).
Total word count of piece: 735
