16032014 - Josefus "Dead Man"

Pretty cool Texan band, who obviously loved to jam. And when I say pretty cool, I mean mostly forgettable. I will give them credit due for being what they were - early forefathers of heavy metal. In Texas. Some tunes, like opener "Crazy Man", are quite good in a Sabbathy way, but most of this material just sounds dated. Also, the title track doesn't do itself any favours by plodding along for over 17 minutes...
