Gasoline Alley Bred - The Hollies (Cover)

The Hollies are an English rock and pop band formed in Manchester 1962. One of the leading British groups of the 1960s and into the mid-1970s, they are known for their distinctive three-part vocal harmony style. Singer Allan Clarke and rhythm guitarist/singer Graham Nash founded the band as a Merseybeat-type group in Manchester, although some of the band members came from towns further north, in east Lancashire. Nash left the group in 1968 to co-form Crosby, Stills & Nash, though he has reunited with the Hollies on occasion. As well as Clarke and Nash other members have included lead guitarist Tony Hicks, rhythm guitarist Terry Sylvester (who replaced Nash), bassists Eric Haydock and Bernie Calvert, and drummers Don Rathbone and Bobby Elliott. Since the Hollies released their first single on 17 May 1963, the group has had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, 21 on RPM magazine's singles chart, 25 on Germany's singles chart, and 11 on the VG-lista singles chart. Many of the Hollies' singles contain three-part vocal harmony, although a few—such as "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress"—do not contain any vocal harmonies. A total of 15 albums by the Hollies have charted on the UK Albums Chart, 13 have charted on the Billboard 200, five have charted on the VG-lista albums chart, four have charted in the Netherlands, and six have charted on RPM magazine's Top Albums chart. There’s not much info online about Gasoline Alley Bred, apart from that it was released in 1970 and reached top 20 in the UK, Australia & Ireland, and a song I’ve always loved, due to their amazing song writing and vocals, and thought I’d give it a crack. Hope you enjoy my attempt, happy Sunday and much love all.
