Moloch - Moloch (Made in Memphis Vinyl Series)

The eponymous album of Moloch is an exception in the catalog Stax with its combination of rock, hard blues, psychedelic guitar solos and blue eyed soul. But despite the band members' short time together, Moloch remains influential in the world of Blues, and even more so in the history of Memphis.

In his liner notes, Bob Mehr writes: “the band's legacy is bigger than a single song. Over the decades, the LP has become a totem for guitarists and blues seekers, for whom Moloch remains a deity. Mehr continues to praise the band's late guitarist, Lee Baker, stating that "Baker's work continues to exert a profound influence on a generation of Memphis guitarists." The LP of Moloch served as a reference for Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars And Steve Selvidge of Hold Steady, among other disciples.”
