Another private pressing from the 70s, this time a charming chunk of rural rock from the sunshine state.
Originally released on No Label Recordings, this four-piece from Florida (named after the hip American 70s singin'n'guitar-playin' cartoon character, Sugar Bear) have managed to produce an album of high originality which defies categorization.
In terms of musical styles, the ''rural rock'' probably covers just about everything, from rock'n'roll to the blues and plain ol' country rock in the style of The Outlaws or Pure Prairie League, of course there are some psychedelic touches, think a cross line betwwen Jefferson Airplaine and Byrds with drops of Santana.
Today’s “Sugarbear” consists of Ivan Bailey on bass, John McLaughlin on lead guitar, and Eric Chick on drums. Ivan and John have been together about 44 years.
Started out in Miami as “The Goldtones”, later changed to “The Roustabouts”. Moved to the Ocala area and became “The Merger” and in 1972 changed the name to “Sugarbear”.

Very good rural rock album, with 1 or 2 drifts in psychedelia. Should please to people who like Swampgas, Sugar Creek, etc...
But the John Mc Laughlin involved here has nothing to do with the famous jazz-rock guitar player.
Thanks !!!
Note that both formats ripped from the original CD and not convert from one to another.
In the future i'll upload my files in both formats as FLAC and mp3 320kbps also, so that the visitors can choose the one they like,
that means that i'll upload one release per day.
Thank you all for your support,
especially OldrockerBR who gives me the chance to share with you the music we all love.
frumious bandersnatch, yes you're right about John McLaughlin, that's why i didn't wrote anything in the liner notes.
very fine idea to propose the links in Flac and Mp3,after the downloader make his choice.Thanks.
I did not know this album of "Sugar Bear" and also thought a strange guitarist named "John McLaughlin" in 1970 did not playing anything similar with the most style-jazz prog albums of the same period of "John McLaughlin" (Mahavishnu Orchestra).
I withdrew to quote the title of the post of John McLaughlin to not create confusion for the less informed (and I included too).
Hola,gran album y buen trabajo de audio.Gracias por desenpolvarnos los oidos con discos como este.Gracias.Saludos.
