Velvert Turner Group, USA

Velvert Turner Group - s/t. 1972 Family

*** Reissued on LP in 2019 (ORG Music) ***

This is one of those albums that had two releases: a Soul and a Rock mix. Of interest to us is the latter of course. Velvert Turner is heavily, and I mean heavily, influenced by classic Jimi Hendrix, whom apparently he had a student/mentor relationship with. On this, his only album, Turner pretty much imitates the Hendrix vocal and composition style to perfection. Nice guitar work as well, but of course falls short of the master. A bit too much hero worship here for me to recommend further.
