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.

When it's) Alright, and it's comin' along Yung Gravy in this bitch and I pull up (Bitch) (We gotta get right back, where we, started from) Love is good (Love can be strong) But I'ma come through (We gotta get right back to where we started from, ahh) Ayy (Jason Rich on the beat, bitch)

Gravy Train were a progressive rock group from Lancashire, England, formed by vocalist and guitarist Norman Barratt in 1969. Hughes (keyboards, vocals, wind), Lester Williams (bass, vocals) and Barry Davenport (drums), the band would record four studio albums. Second Birth at Dawn (but still no chart success). Staircase to the Day - a final attempt.

GRAVY TRAIN Staircase To The Day DNLH-1 1974 LP (Gatefold). A fascinating and unique album. Although Joy Unlimited continued for several years they never managed to get another album release after BASF ceased record production. The third Gravy Train album and their first for the Dawn label originally. Gravy Train 'Second Birth' 12" vinyl LP New + Sealed. Blue note jazz lp: sleeve only lou donaldson gravy train blue note 4079 no disc. The Picture for the front cover has the incorrect color. It is more red. Gravy train - s, t lp n. mint!!!

Except Gravy Train's concept of "letting rip" has more in common with a symphony orchestra than the Edgar Broughton Band. Without, of course, the orchestra. But there's a moment in the midst of "Think of Life" that cannot help but put one in mind of later Deep Purple, as the flute and guitar battle for supremacy, while the blues workout "Coast Road" is as breathtaking as any of that genre's better-feted exponents. In fact, Gravy Train is littered with moments like that, an album of so many surprises that even when you think you know it, you can still find something else you'd never noticed. And it all adds up to a genuine minor classic.
