Broth - Broth (Reissue) (1970/2010)

The only album from New York. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the band's composition, except for the fact that there were eight musicians in the band playing also on the bugle (horn) and Latin percussions. The producer of the album and the author of most of the songs, including those that later went on to various "I'm A King" compilations, was Steve Verroca, a fairly well-known American composer, producer, drummer, percussionist, keyboardist and recording engineer who still works in the music business.
The album was recorded in N.Y.C. in 1970. Judging from the back cover photo of the band sitting atop their "tour bus" in a downtown setting, and the multi-ethnicity of the members, I would be willing to bet that they were most likely from the NY area. The music is semi-commercial rock, with some fairly hard material, and featuring some horns and, occasionally, mild rural flavor. this is not a progressive masterpiece, as suggested in some reference sources..
