VA - Sucking the 70's [2002] + VA - Sucking the 70's, Back in the Saddle Again [2006] (4 x CDs)

Sucking the 70's and Sucking the 70's, Back in the Saddle Again are two-disc collections of 1970s songs covered by modern stoner rock bands. They were released by Small Stone Records in 2002 and 2006 respectively. The album title is a reference to the Rolling Stones compilation Sucking in the Seventies.

The essence of the sound in these compilations is a journey back in time, a sonic exploration of the 70’s era. The music is a vibrant blend of hard rock and stoner rock, genres that were in their prime during this period. The sound is raw and gritty, yet polished and refined, capturing the rebellious spirit of the 70’s.

The music is characterized by heavy guitar riffs and powerful drumbeats, creating a pulsating rhythm that drives the songs forward. The bass lines are thick and groovy, adding depth to the sound. The vocals range from raspy and rough to smooth and melodic, adding a layer of complexity to the music.

The sound is nostalgic, yet fresh and modern. It’s a tribute to the 70’s, but with a contemporary twist. The music is energetic and dynamic, filled with passion and emotion. It’s music that makes you want to move, to dance, to let loose.

In essence, the sound is a celebration of the 70’s, a tribute to the music that defined a generation. It’s a reminder of a time when music was about freedom, expression, and rebellion. It’s a sound that resonates with listeners of all ages, timeless classics that continues to inspire and entertain. It’s the sound of the 70’s, brought back to life for a new generation to enjoy. (B)
