Aztec Records continues the Expanded CD reissue programme of landmark Australian albums with the

classic 1972 LP from the country's original Kings of Boogie - Carson. Blown arrived at a time when the

Australian musical landscape was intensifying with ground-breaking albums from the likes of Chain,

Spectrum, Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs, Daddy Cool, Buffalo, Country Radio etc. It was a vibrant era when

Australian bands were stripping away old inhibitions and exploring their roots in order to expand their

horizons. As part of that push towards the roots of rock - the blues - Carson helped to establish the

blueprint for the pub rock scene that was to follow.

Recorded at the legendary T.C.S. studios in Melbourne, the album was full of dexterous, free-flowing,

bluesy hard rock, with impeccable musicianship throughout. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the high

powered 'A Boogie', a radically different cut from the familiar single version with a taut, razor-sharp quality

to the guitar riffs. The band was known to pound this tune into the dirt for 10 minutes or more on stage,

creating a monster groove in the process.
