Bio: A psychedelic quarantine of deep spirit blues, Lion Fever shouts "AWAKE!" in rock n' roll's ear and smiles as the future re-invents itself in brown ... (more) acid love and the dark brow of those left knowing. Tremolo! Reverb! The Stomp of steady impulse! A Bellowing Voice finds Morrison awash on Nico's desertshore.
