Kingdom Come

They hailed from Brooklyn but might as well have been from Mars. Teenagers playing turboblues they didn’t understand – Romeos whose experience with Juliets mostly came from getting rejected by girls at their high school dances — yet still nailed, Sir Lord Baltimore inadvertently laid the track for hundreds of longhaired stoner rock bands that didn’t even know they existed. The jaw-dropping title track alone made them the proto-metal equivalent of Homer, chronicling Odysseus’s journey across seas of fuzz as he sings his immigrant song. Singer/drummer John Garner hit his high notes like he bashed his kit: enthusiastically and imprecisely.
