Legs Diamond - A Diamond Is A Hard Rock (1977)


Cool, struttin' glamour metal with plenty of balls from '77. These Californian's go straight to the throat with their trashy, sleazy but very likable groove rock. 'I Think I Got It' is a pleasure to hear, filling the smallest clubs with sweaty abandon, rockin' to the rafters, great use of the organ on 'Evil', and 'Live A Little' drives hard, sending clear messages, and that's what this record is about. Pure, communicative rock 'n' roll with no arty confusion or mixed messages, a free flowing hard rock record that'll have you grabbing your crotch under the stars. Shame the band never made it big because it's so easy to listen to.


7/10
