You are one of the best guitarists and singers of all time. All these years later I still get inspired when I hear your playing on these recordings. Really tasty stuff, love the slide. You sir are the definition of "underrated "........if only.
The STELLAR career accomplishments of the members of this band are far-outshined by their work as "DUST". These guys were the hardest driving, most talented musicians to be recorded - ever. How tragic it is they are not in the H/O Fame with the music they made on these 2 albums. Buy them - listen and enjoy. I still enjoy this music and get something out of it every time I listen to it - still.
Kenny Kerner & Richie Wise (also with the late Kenny Rogers) also produced the pop trio Gunhill Road whos "Back When My Hair Was Short" went to # 40 (Hot 100 1 week) & # 37 (Adult Contemporary) on June 2, 1973. That was their only charted song. The song "Sailing" reminds me of America "Riverside" (from the 1972 self - titled album). The song "Sag Harbour" reminds me of The Bee Gees. The song "Callin' Atlanta" reminds me of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Finally, the song "We're Almost Going Home" reminds me of Joni Mitchell. All songs from their 2nd & final album on Kama Sutra (which was reissued by Wounded Bird) & also download on Apple iTunes (with bonus tracks).
I don't think it was any one group that started Metal. For instance, Deep Purple's In Rock clearly went for the throat in 1970 as did the first Sabbath album. In addition to bands like James Gang, Mountain, Zeppelin in that same year, there were also a few highly influential but relatively unknowns - Sir Lord Baltimore, Coven, Stone Axe...hell, even Billy Joel's Attila.
Brilliant musicians all 3 of them. Thanks so much Ritchie Wise for 2 of the best albums in rock history.
Hard Attack is my favorite album of all time.

I would pay good money to see them play!
This band is a legend!
the architect of the first true american metal band and the producers of the most successful american rock band kiss
Wise is a monster on that lead guitarist vocalist role

HARD ATTACK IS AN ALL TIME HEAVY CLASSIC ALBUM
Just listen to the instrumental "Ivory" from the Hard Attack album and you will see how great these three guys were.
As a fellow Brooklynite, I have an obvious affinity for Dust. Monumental band. But Sabbath was first and created metal as we know it.
