May Blitz is So Genuine... Brilliant , Clever... Musician... honestly I just came across his stuff among tons of others... Bands from 68-75,76.... I tend to Find the BEST... Pure TRUE CLASSIC ROCK... Non Mainstream.. Clever Harmonies,Lyrics, EVERYTHING... May Blitz is a GOD'
Reid moved back to BC in Canada in the mid 70's. When i last spoke with him he had managed to get a reunion meeting with James & Tony (Tony was drumming with the Everly Brothers). Reid & James were back in contact at the time! I have original autographs on a notebook page from 1971. An old friend of mine got them in person from Folkestone, England after the gig. Reid was blown away when i sent him a scan. This page has pride of place in my May Blitz - 2nd of May CD cover! ;)
Holy shit... seriously... wow wow..... wow....this is is just.... wow... thank you so much for this i actually typed each of those wows at different moments, this is an accurate transcript of my mind being blown to fragments by this
Im so glad to had of found May Blitz, they are amazing, im also happy to find that people still listen to this awesome band and all proto metal bands of the 70s, keep rocking dudes!

Back in the 1980s I bought this album (on spiral Vertigo) at a jumble sale for 10p. Not surprisingly I sold it a few years later for maybe £20, but what's it worth now??
Dans les 70's, May Blitz est l'un de ces nombreux trios puissants formés selon les nouvelles lois du rock, dictées par Jimi Hendrix et Cream. Ces trois admirables musiciens ne figurent que rarement dans les diverses anthologies de l'époque, principalement en raison de leur difficulté à s'affranchir totalement de l'esprit blues et du nuage de fumée psychédélique. Alors que Black Sabbath et Led Zeppelin dégainent déjà leurs riffs associés à une incroyable exubérance satanico-sexuelle, May Blitz semble ne rendre qu'un hommage à un Hendrix. Ce premier disque dévoile pourtant de sérieux atouts, à commencer par le batteur Tony Newman, dont les connaisseurs auront noté la participation à Beck-Ola (1969) ainsi que son approche mêlant puissance et subtilité jazzy. Le guitariste James Black se distingue quant à lui des bruyants virtuoses du manche en réglant sa distorsion au minimum, et délaisse les riffs au profit d'une approche diablement funky. Le groove intense déployé par le trio est aussi appuyé que séduisant, atteignant parfois des sommets rarement tutoyés par des musiciens blancs. Hormis les deux escapades psychédéliques hasardeuses et ramollies que sont "Dreaming" et "Tomorrow May Come", cet album renferme d'irréprochables perles blufunk (un terme qui sera popularisé bien des années plus tard par un certain Keziah Jones). Enchainant les lignes de basses profondes, vives, sensuelles, doublées par une guitare wah wah ("Smoking the Day Away"), les refrains scandés sur des accords plaqués ("I Don't Know") et des passages plus libertins ("Virgin Waters"), May Blitz reste aussi accrocheur qu'inclassable. A mi-chemin entre Hendrix et Black Sabbath, cette musique fleure bon la drogue et le sexe, bien davantage que celle de Free. Le public, en demande d'aération après la désillusion hippie, y restera plutôt indifférent. Tony Newman s'est également produit avec : David Bowie - David Live - 1974 Jeff Beck - Beckology - 1991 Kevin Ayers - Too Old To Die Young - 1998 Yes We have No Mananas - 1976

they were way cool.
I've spoken to Reid Hudson (bassist) a number of times over the years.
this is my fave of their songs!
Very cool. Reminds me of the first Captain Beyond album somewhat.
Uffffff!!!!!! una de las mejores canciones de May Blitz!!!!!! excelente!!!!!
Milickza martínez sono daccordo con te :-) i love this song

Proto metal or not, who cares? They're awesome anyway
just love this band, bought the albums on release.
This is true rock and roll.
2:35 Takes to you to a whole different world. Love when bands can just seamlessly solo over each other making a very visceral experience

"For Mad Men Only" isn't that what it says on a sign by that mysterious door in Herman Hesse's Steppenwolf ?

What he used this in a part?
Iron Maiden Phantom Of The Opera. Steve Harris clearly influenced by this bass player.
Very much like a heavy version of the 'Joe 90' theme!
