Savage Rose

Third album from Savage Rose, one of the very few truly original bands to come out of Denmark in the 1960's. In the early years there were quite a few changes in the line-up, but with the two Koppel brothers and the unique voice of Annisette as their corner-stones, they were always musically way ahead of most of bands of their time…

In the Plain by Denmark's Savage Rose has a striking cover photo with psychedelic color coordinated band members surrounded by wild pink lettering of the group name. Inside is innovative music, pretty much living up to the typical Polygram hype from this era written on the back cover…

Savage Rose keep on producing excellent albums and have done so for more than 40 years now. The band members have changed during the years, but the quality and the one of a kind lead singer Annisette has remained. They have created albums in different styles and this is a more rock oriented album than previous ones…

It is really good - something like comeback to classic albums of 60-70s. Nostalgic and very good album…

Anyone recognizing original songwriting performed with some of the best musicians will be positively surprised by this masterpiece, partially produced by George Duke. The genius of Thomas Koppel in music and arrangement is evident in these original tracks, and the lyrics and vocal performance by Annisette is powerful and moving…

Very pleasant and listenable album. Very close in sound to Rose`s classic (60-s - 70-s). Worth listening though not a masterpiece…

A very diverse collection of protest-songs, folksongs, etc from all over the world, but performed in the native language of the band, danish. The songs include Joe Hill, El Pueblo Unido and one of the more beautiful hymns of football (a commission from the Danish Football Union)"Stjerneskud"…

One of the most well-known rock groups from Continental Europe, Denmark's Savage Rose recorded a wealth of intriguing and eclectic progressive rock in the late '60s and '70s. In their early work, one hears faint echoes of the Airplane, Doors, Pink Floyd, and other psychedelic heavyweights combined with classical jazz and Danish-Euro folk elements…

One of their better efforts. The R&B influence retreats in favor of a tender, melodic approach emphasizing the organ, piano, and accordions on a strong set that favors their European folk influences…

Your Daily Gift opens with an original pop/rocker, "Sunday Morning," which displays Anisette's little granny voice to great effect. This is not the hit song by Spanky & Our Gang, nor does Anisette sound anything like Spanky, but the two bands would have complemented each other nicely on a bill, and had Elaine McFarlane performed "The Waters Run Deep," the first song on side two, it might have been an American hit…
