1897 Hawkwind - Hurry on Sundown

From: Hawkwind; Year: 1970; Genre: Blues Rock/Psychedelic Rock

I was going over some of Hawkwind's earlier material the other day; after hearing this track I kept going back over and listening to it. If you are used to their normal sound, I have to say it's a bit different; this is quite a bluesy track with a bit of psychedelia thrown in. Actually there is a version of the song that was recorded prior to their first album when they were still going by "Hawkwind Zoo," which in my opinion sounds more like what they would end up sounding like. Anyway, no matter the version it's really interesting to hear such an early recording of the band.
