Deep Feeling

about

There were two bands, both British, going by the name of Deep Feeling: 1) A rock band from Worcester (1966-1967), whose members would later form Traffic and Spooky Tooth. 2) A very obscure short-lived progressive rock band active in 1971, who issued one eponymous album in that year. 1. Previously known as The Hellions, they were lead by future Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi (The Hellions lineup had included another Traffic member, Dave Mason). Another important members were future Spooky Tooth founding member, Luther Grosvenor on lead guitar, Gordon Jackson (who would later release a notable solo album in 1969) on rhythm guitar and drums and future Family member, Poli Palmer on drums. 2. Deep Feeling was a short-lived obscure British band, whose only album originally released on DJM label in 1971 is tragically overlooked among the prog fans and collectors. Being no less than a minor masterpiece, it contains six long songs, most of them falling stylistically somewhere between UK proto-prog groups (Cressida, Beggars Opera, Spring) and the excellent British bands of the first echelon (early Crimson, Marsupilami, Rare Bird). In fact, several tracks are just as complex as "The Court Of The Crimson King" or Rare Bird's suite "Flight". The album starts with great "Welcome For A Soldier", a complex piece with several tempo shifts and some excellent guitar/keyboard interplay in the middle. The vocal melody is very dreamy and beautiful, evoking parallels with PFM's "River Of Life".
