The Stampeders: "From The Fire" |
 |
"From The Fire", The Stampeders fourth album and second released of 1973
marked a radical departure from the bands, "Rubes, Dudes & Rowdies" set.
In a bold move that went against the band's US record companies wishes,
"From The Fire" contained some of the group's heaviest, most progressive
songs yet.
Based on a theme of western native American folk lore and
nature, the songs on the album explored a variety of themes and showed that
the Stampeders were not only as a singles band but a unit capable of
breaking away from a formula style of writing and holding their own against
any of the hard rock, progressive styled bands of the early 70's.

Despite
the change of direction the band was still able to pull a couple of hit
singles off of the album including the popular "Me and My Stone" and a
shortened version of "Running Wild", which clocked in at over six minutes
on the album. Although " From The Fire" was not as big of a seller as the
bands previous works it did win them some new fans and critical acclaim.
This reissue of "From The Fire" by Unidisc Music Inc features the original
album graphics and superb sound with are no bonus tracks. The fold out
booklet contains lyrics to all of the songs contained on the album.
