“Roses”
from Drouyn Soundtrack by Finch (1974)
I’m wagering this could be Jeb’s new party jam. This track is from the soundtrack to an Australian surfing movie from the 70’s called Drouyn.
Half of the soundtrack is primarily instrumental music composed by Peter Martin– it goes from funky to mellower folk based passages.
The standout for me though are the handful of tracks contributed by the 70’s hard rock band Finch. These also appeared in a slightly more polished for on their debut LP, Thunderbird, but I prefer the rougher cuts. Apparently Mark Evans from AC/DC played with Finch for awhile, but I find their tunes to be a bit more laid back than Angus & co. “Roses” (which I uploaded) and “Sailaway” are the standouts for me.
EM Records reissued this as a CD earlier this year as part of their “surf” soundtrack reissue series. All the releases have been unique and not “surf music”. (Also their Pyramids reissue from a couple years back is HIGHLY recommended).
BTW, I’m still working on tracking down a copy of the film if anyone has any leads…
too bad jeb doesn’t party anymore.
Man this song is banging though i may have to go back to active duty. I’ve listened to it about a million times now and I think the key to this whole jam is the right around 1:40 with the combo riff breakdown section / guitar sliding in at the same time.
there’s a sailaway tease on aq.
err guitar “solo” sliding in.
You can grab “Sailaway” here.
