Grinderswitch: Pullin' Together
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, 18 December 1976
I DIDN't see them live but I gather from the reports that Grinderswitch – Messrs Dru Lembar, Stephen Miller, Larry Howard, Joe Dan Petty and Rick Burnett – weren't the most impressive pack of wild Southern dudes to hit these shores. This album, which I believe to be their second, won't exactly shake the world off its axis either.
