Cool Feet- Burning desire (1976)



Extremely obscure album (it’s supposed to fetch many hundreds of dollars) by a bunch of German and British guys who were based in Luxemburg. Obviously influenced by early Scorpions, Cool Feet can be proud for managing to recreate part of the Germans’ magic, leaving behind some really good songs. You can easily detect the Scorpions influence even on the sexist album cover and furthermore ‘’Burning desire’’ was recorded at the Dieter Dirks studios in Cologne, Germany. Especially ‘’Fly to the rainbow’’ must have been one of their favorite albums at the time, The man from Marakesh sounds a lot like They need a million and Alone in your cage draws inspiration from symphonic anthems like Fly to the rainbow or Fly people fly. Despite the similarities one cannot underestimate the talent of Cool Feet, nor the great songs they contributed to rock history.
