Southern Energy Ensemble (1976)



Southern Energy Ensemble had been an overlooked band for a while or maybe still is as they released only one album the 1976 eponymously named LP. It only makes one to wonder why the band is not promoted by the label Black Fire Records, the record company that Plunky Branch and Jimmy Gray started in 1975. The band also have members of the Juju extended family, keyboardist Nathaniel Lee and Judy Spears in their line up. The original pressing was a much sought collector item and this is the japanese reissued version released in 2003 .
