Beatnik Brilliance? Beat-sploitation? Beats me! Before Sesame Street or Yo Gabba Gabba made art for kids that their parents understood on a whole other level, there were Hip Fables.

Crow’s third and final release, Mosaic, was originally released in 1971. Largely unrecognized at the time, Mosaic contained one minor hit- “(Don’t Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The) King Of Rock And Roll,” which easily beats the subsequent version by Long John Baldry. Mosaic also features a catchy original song that should’ve been a hit- “Keeps Me Running.” Like their prior albums, Crow’s powerful organ-laden blues rock carries early ‘70s rock to new heights! Blending a new mixture of country...

Following up their initial 1969 release Crow Music, Crow turns up the heat with Crow By Crow! Recalling bands like Eden’s Children and Crabby Appleton, Crow By Crow was released in May of 1970.
