Gravy train
{{Merge to|Gravy Train (band)}}'''Gravy Train''' was a progressive English rock band, who in 1970 published an [[album]] of the same name. 
The group was formed 1969 in [[Manchester]] and consisted in 1970 of Norman Barrett (vocal, g), Les Williams (b, vocal), J. D. Hughes (fl, sax, vocal) and Barry Davenport (dr). All members were credited for the songs on the LP, which was quite famed in its day – not only for the music, but also for the cover designed by Hipgnosis, well known for works for Pink Floyd and Edgar Broughton Band. 
The songs were blues-inspired, heavily psychedelic, quite original on "the New One" to the slow blues "Coast Road". Norman Barrett replaced Jimmy Page in Lord Sutch's band for the Holywood Festival. A little bit of a mix of King Crimson and Jethro Tull with a psychedelic touch.{{Fact}}
