Stray’s 1970 self titled debut album is one of those lost hard rock classics of all time , chock full of acid-tinged biker-rock , bluesy, harmonics-heavy dirges, Sabbath-y slammers , scratchy, wah-inflected funk rockers and shimmery pop gems , all of it drenched in Del Bronham’s speed-freak guitar work. The follow-up, 1971’s “Suicide”, is almost as good (check out the heavy-as-bricks title track), although by 1976’s “Hearts Of Fire” they had lightened up, as it were, a bit too much, and disbanded soon after. These days, the group, with Bromham on board, is back together, and has been hailed as an influence on a generation of British rockers, including Iron Maiden, who released a cover of their signature song, “All in Your Mind,” in 1990.
