Glencoe - It's (1972)

Подробнее о видео

Glencoe emerged in early 1972 as a fresh evolution from the members of Forever More. Formed around drummer Stewart (Stuart) Francis and guitarist Mick Strode, the lineup was soon bolstered by keyboardist/vocalist Graham Maitland and bassist Norman Watt‑Roy. When Strode exited, guitarist John Turnbull (formerly of Skip Bifferty) joined, completing the quartet that defined Glencoe’s signature sound.

Signed to Epic’s Grand Western Gramophone label, Glencoe self-produced their debut LP, simply titled Glencoe, released in 1972. The UK vinyl was recorded at Olympic and Morgan Studios in June-July ’72 and featured a dynamic nine‑track lineup, blending progressive rock with blues‑leaning melodies.

The song smooths between bluesy introspection and prog‑rock ambition, anchored by piano and organ underpinnings, crescendoing into impassioned vocals that glide effortlessly against Turnbull’s tasteful guitar layers. Critics describe “It’s” as “well‑crafted,” with keyboards elegantly supporting rising vocal intensity and Turnbull’s assertive guitar presence in the mid‑section. It’s a slower‑paced, blues‑tinged highlight that captures the ensemble’s nuanced cohesion.
