May Blitz

Musical Group

May Blitz was a late 1960s/early 1970s three-piece rock group featuring Tony Newman, James Black and Reid Hudson; signed to Vertigo and noted for a 1970 self-titled album praised for instrumental and bluesy hard-rock elements.

The band released the self-titled debut May Blitz (1970) on Vertigo. Members named in the DeBaser review are Tony Newman (drums), James Black and Reid Hudson. Tony Newman had previously been part of the Jeff Beck Group.

DeBaser's review praises May Blitz's 1970 self-titled album for strong instrumental skill, versatile bluesy and hard-rock passages, and powerful vocal interplay. Tony Newman (noted as ex-Jeff Beck Group) and the duo of James Black and Reid Hudson are highlighted. Specific tracks discussed include "Smoking The Day Away", "Dreaming", "Fire Queen" and "Virgin Waters".

For:Fans of early 1970s hard rock and blues-rock, collectors of obscure Vertigo-era releases.

 It's 1970, Black Sabbath gives birth to their first self-titled album, Deep Purple releases In Rock, Led Zeppelin III, so it's normal for excellent works like May Blitz to be sidelined and forgotten in the face of such musical and creative fervor.
