Originally released in 1970 by RCA Victor Records, LP - LSP-4368 (US) and LP - LSA 3009 (UK)Fat (Массачусетс, США) несомненно, одна из лучших групп, игравших в стиле "The Bosstown Sound" и, кстати, была довольно известной в то время. Делала совместные концерты (разогрев), гастроли и просто сейшны с Братьями Элманами, ''Quicksilver Messenger'', ''Grand Funk Railroad'', Литтлом Ричардом, Бонни и Делани, Джони Винтером и Робином Травером....Отличный собственный материал, прекрасно исполненный (особо можно отметить вокалиста, гитара тоже хороша) и записанный. Надо сказать, что звучит очень современно. Есть небольшой уклон в психоделию (Black Sunday) и джаз (Mine Eyes Have Seen), Duck Sweat – классический блюз, а Country Girl вполне органично смотрелась бы в репертуаре Cream.
После выпуска двух неплохих альбомов (с разницей аж в 6 лет..и заменой ударника и одного из гитаристов..), зазвездили и ударились в коммерцию, начав играть банальную попсу...
Об исполнителе:
A local Massachusetts rural rock outfit, their first album is now catching on with collectors. The first 45 features two album cuts, but the second 45 tracks are non-album. They apparently had a long local career as they recorded a rare second album in 1975, which is reputedly more polished than the first one. Both this, and a 45 in 1981, were released locally.

Produced by Eddie Jason, 1970’s “Fat” is a fantastic and completely overlooked near-classic (a couple of online references say RCA only pressed 400 copies of their debut album). At least to my ears this Massachusetts-based quintet seemed to have everything required for major stardom – a great singer in Peter Newland, killer chops including a pair of impressive lead guitarists in Michael Benson and James Kaminski, and a rock steady rhythm section in drummer William Benjamin and bassist Guy DeVito.
That line up coupled with more than their share of first-rate material that was simultaneously tuneful and lyrically interesting made for a great LP. No wonder they met with zilch in terms of commercial success. With Benson, Kaminski and Newland sharing writing credits, tracks like ‘House On the Corner’, ‘Mine Eyes Have Seen’ (with an unexpected jazzy closing segment, the Cream inspired ‘Country Girl’, and the ballad ‘Lonely Lady’ (sounding uncannily like something a 1990s band like Creed might have recorded) were tailor made for FM radio.
The ‘A” side happened to be the most top-40 commercial effort on the album and should have generated considerable airplay. Perhaps not a great comparison, but imagine “Can’t Buy a Thrill” era Steely Dan had they decided to pursue their rock roots rather than going jazzy and pseudo-sophisticated. (Bad Cat)

Engineered by legends Roy Cicala who worked with Genya Ravan, Lori Burton, and John Lennon, along with Shelly Yakus (spelt Shelly Yokas on the album jacket) of Stevie Knicks and so many others fame, Fat is comprised of five men who, other than this outing, appear to have remained pretty much unknown. According to urban legend, this production by Eddie Jason saw only 400 copies released by RCA. For a band coming at the end of the debacle known as "The Bosstown Sound," this actually plays better than Eden's Children and Ultimate Spinach. With a cover photo of five dudes dressed like they are going camping, no image whatsoever, these longhairs deliver a decent set of tunes, despite the fact they aren't stellar musicians. There is a spirit here, however, from "Shape I'm In" on side two, to the lengthy "Journey" and "Highway." "Black Sunday" is inspired and has a sound very influenced by Quicksilver Messenger Service. Via default they seem to have created a strange amalgam of East Coast blues and psychedelia that Ultimate Spinach was searching for. "Country Girl" has Cream riffs galore, and where you might expect a folk tune, it rocks out. Where Alive & Kickin' released the same year on Roulette and were woefully deficient on the musical side of things, these cats have a style and a sound. Peter Newland's voice and harp reflect the darkness James Kaminski and Michael Benson lay down with their guitars. Not a bad recording for a band with no look and riffs that Bachman Turner Overdrive would explore and exploit just four years later. "Duck Sweat" is the bluesy rock that the cover indicates, but "Lonely Lady" and "Mine Eyes Have Seen" take the group into other directions. An interesting artifact.
