in the studio. However there is so much more on offer here than mere instrumentalism.

Bullfrog Brown - Snakes and Devils

It is not an understatement to say their debut release Snakes and Devils can stand musically
with any of their American brothers and sisters. In fact, if not for the notable accent of singer
Allar Kriisa , you could easily think you were listening to an album recorded deep in the Delta,
not the frozen north of a former province of the Soviet Republic. Of the thirteen original tracks,
twelve were penned by guitarist Andres Roots, the other by Kriisa.

Mississippi mud from which it sprang.
