Gravy Train is the 1970 debut album by Gravy Train. It is in the progressive rock and psychedelic rock genres. He compared the track "Think of Life" to Deep Purple due to its flute part. Thompson noted that, "If Gravy Train has any faults whatsoever, the fascination with peculiar vocal effects can grow a little wearing, especially as frontman Norman Barrett.

If Gravy Train has any faults whatsoever, the fascination with peculiar vocal effects can grow a little wearing, especially as frontman Norman Barrett already appears to have a fabulous range of his own - "Dedication to Sid," in particular, glories in such trickery, although the heartbeat bassline that runs through the number is so hypnotic that it's easy to forget everything else

GRAVY TRAIN was an above average rock band that had enough talent to make a successful foray into the territory of progressive rock. On their 1970 release "(A Ballad of) A Peaceful Man", the use of flute (. Hughes) was similar to how JETHRO TULL utilized the instrument in a rock setting. Their sound was decidedly progressive, leaning more towards a harder rock sound (for the time) with some sharp guitar playing (Norman Barrett), although the vocal side of the house was a little weak in comparison to their overall musical adeptness. GRAVY TRAIN's second album is less experimental and the jamming has been stopped, so yes this sounds quite different in style when compared to the debut. I like this better surprisingly enough. This album offers up a collection of good songs with Norman's expressive vocals and the ever present flute standing out.

A state, position, or job in which one makes an excessive amount of money without expending much or any effort. I'll be on the gravy train once I get paid from the settlement of the lawsuit! My brother ended up on the gravy train when he married his wife, whose family owns one of the largest oil companies in the world. COMMON If you describe something as a gravy train, you mean it is an easy way of earning a lot of money over a long period.

This is the case of Gravy Train - their debut album mixed elements of the Canterbury school, Sabbathesque heavy metal, Pink Floydish eccentricity and Jethro Tull militant folkishness together in one really intriguing pot. On the very first try, they had a steady base going for them - yet they never fulfilled the promise. Nowadays, Gravy Train are but a minuscule footnote in the history of Seventies' music, and their records are really hard to find. these guys had a steady workin' formula.
