Here in Baltimore in the 70's everybody had Crack The Sky albums.

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

Yes indeed, to bad Crack The Sky didnt go over in the rest of the country like they did here in Baltimore, they could have been huge, im friends with a few of the members to this very day.

[@bricin1982]

They were and still are very popular here in Buffalo, NY, too. I've gone to their last 2 concerts when they played here. Once in June 2019, and they returned on March 6, 2020, right before the whole world turned upside down. Love CTS. I've been a fan since 1975.

[@bmoredeplorable5152]

Pulumbo used to live in the Colony in Towson.....

[@4tuneagent]

Thanks for reacting to the great, under the radar band, Crack The Sky!.. Other excellent tunes from them are "Ice", "Nuclear Apathy", "She's A Dancer", "Animal Skins", "Mind Baby", and "Lighten Up McGraw"..

[@lauriesuter8810]

As a Baltimore area girl I agree 👍!!!

[@victorsalamone8763]

Finally, some respect for an all time great band that few have heard. Great to see a younger ear react this way. You are a class act. Great job!

[@roundabout130]

The first Crack The Sky album was named Rolling Stone magazine's debut album of the year in 1975. "Ice" is their signature song, and a reaction to the studio version would make some people very happy!

[@johnhoerl7326]

Crack the Sky ruled the airwaves here in Baltimore in the 70s! Takes me back to my high school days

[@chuckschillingvideos]

So true for me and pretty much everyone I went to high school with (graduated 1982).

[@mikerice1602]

Joe Macre on bass and Joey D'Amico on drums.....my favorite bass/drum combo ever!!!

[@summertime_blooz]

This group was soooo popular in Baltimore for MANY YEARS. It's difficult to figure out how they could get that popular in one city and then be almost completely unknown throughout most of the country. You can still hear them from time to time on our Classic Rock station.

[@Deborahtunes]

It was because there was a mix-up with the distribution of their first Lp, and somehow, they all wound up in Baltimore. But CTS's first record label really screwed the band over too. Also consider the band was from West Virginia, which isn't far from Maryland. Just a short trip up I-70..

[@googoo-gjoob]

@@Deborahtunes JP mistakenly agreed to a 7 album deal with a label unable/uninterested in properly supporting them.

[@johnroberts1009]

New band for me. LOVED it. I was getting a jazz rock vibe. Glad you did them. Now I have a new band to check out. Still no disappointments. Keep it up. 😎

[@johnroberts1009]

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@pittdave]

Hot Razors In My Heart..Maybe I can Fool Everybody.. Dog City..Rangers At Midnight..all great stuff from CTS

[@bauertime]

This group is a top 10 best unknown, under rated groups.

[@Dannoga]

One of the best 1-2 punch album duos in existence!

[@OP-wn1xu]

You must do Nuclear Apathy and She's a Dancer by Crack the Sky as well! This band never made it big but they are just as good as the best bands that did make it big

[@scottculiner1720]

Crack The Sky is one of the best live bands ever. So incredibly tight. I saw them live about 20 times in the 80's and 90's.

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

*Crack The Sky to Baltimore is like Apple Pie & Chevrolet or Hot Dogs & Baseball, Peanut butter & Jelly!*

[@augustfrisk1784]

Man..you are my hero. Almost nobody knows about these guys..including Pardo on Sea of tranquility. Good job who requested this. One of the most criminally neglected bands of all time. Period.

[@Yaktahbay]

Finally a reactor hits Crack The Sky! You just earned a new subscriber. Please explore the rest of this album and they'll fulfill all of your hopes! Their second and third albums are also awesome.

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

I'm from Central Illinois and many of us around here LOVE Crack The Sky. Sadly, I've never seen them live except via video. They are a greatly underrated and underappreciated band. I always post Hyphen-American (Machine 2010) every 4th of July.

[@mikeobrien2440]

It's well worth traveling to somewhere that you can see them. I go annually with my dad and brothers, and it's a killer show every time, with the whole band hanging out and chatting with the audience before their set.

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

@@m.t.romero2654 Thanks. I'll look into that.

[@richardjacobs7632]

This band is really good lives they go off in a tangent it to a Beatles medley and bring it all back

[@vizzini589]

Love this band. Saw them open for Styx in the late 70's. She's A Dancer is a must listen.

[@marksavage1744]

Saw them live in the 70s as well when the "Safety in Numbers" LP came out. It was shocking how incredible they were live! Rock on CTS!

[@psmith524]

Their song writing and musicianship are very underrated! A Night On The Town (with Snow White), She’s a Dancer, Hot Razors In My Heart, All American Boy. Just a few great CTS songs!

[@hippylong]

Thanks bro! Your ahead of the class. "Nuclear apathy" "skin deep" "suspicion.

[@dalehymes6004]

Great band. A few of the players are friends of mine and they are still doing great stuff. Thanks for reviewing it. I love listening to it over and over again.

[@mrnobody3161]

Another Artist very few in North America know about is John Miles. Singer Songwriter, guitarist, keyboards. Noteably the go to guy for Led Zeppelin tributes as he can play Jimmy's guitar solos and Robert Plants Vocals. Hugely Talented.

[@4tuneagent]

Yes.. I bought the Rebel album by John Miles as a teenager in 1976.. a wonderful album.. Stranger In the City is great too.. RIP John Miles.. he passed away earlier this year.. such a fantastic musician and vocalist..

[@rickterps]

Crack is playing Towson MD Recher Theater April 13, 2024!! Can’t wait to see them again!!

[@fled25]

Now imagine the light show to go along with it ...

[@garybattista6068]

Their live DVD "All Access" is full of seamless transitions. Highly recommended!

[@Finatic13]

Great band, I only discovered thos band about 3 years ago. Debut album was amazing.

[@rong5666]

This band was from Weirton WV and Wild Cherry was from Mingo Jct. & Steubenville Ohio. Weirton and Steubenville are across from each other on the banks of the Ohio river.

[@shyshift]

King’s X is another incredible band that should be huge but for some reason since having a fairly popular hit on MTV in 1989 just never got on radio and like CTS that’s a crime because this trio is phenomenal especially live. My favorite song is Lost In Germany but you may wanna start with the one MTV played Over My Head. 1988-present they recorded 15 studio albums,2 dvds and 1 live album. Their drummer, Jerry Gaskill grooves like no one else. I think they will get your attention in a very big way.

[@corangerc]

Wow...Another wicked, amazing, band...Props

[@jameslancaster7582]

Rick Wikowski from Crack The Sky recorded and produced my bands album. He is a great guy and very talented.

[@bangmon1000]

First time listening to this band. I guessed that this was from the 70's.

[@guitarman0551]

I was a HUGE Crack The Sky fan back in the day. Saw them in Richmond, Va circa 1977-78. They were opening, along with Robert Palmer, for Atlanta Rhythm Section. Great show, but Crack The Sky knocked me out!

[@douglasgonzalez7561]

One of the things I love about this channel is the fact that every once in a while I get BLINDSIDED right along with you Chod! Really liked the song, and I’ll be looking forward to hearing more from them. I’m loving this community more and more! 😊

[@gilbertsandusky3846]

I had the pleasure of seeing them a couple of times in the 70's . Once in a club and once in a coliseum . Everything you hear on the album they could do live and then a little extra . What kind of music do think of when someone mentions West Virginia ? Country , bluegrass and old time , that was home to this band

[@michaelsmyth500]

Such a great band! My personal favorite song of theirs is "Rangers At Midnight". Give that one a listen.

[@neillenet291]

Hometown Boys from my area near Baltimore

[@marksavage1744]

They were super popular in Baltimore, but they were from west of Pittsburgh, Pa in the Stuebenville, OH/Weirton, WV area. Fantasic band!!!

[@jtbatz]

You need to see the live video s of Surf City or Ice.

[@lousmith1050]

Very underrated !!

[@Deborahtunes]

As a Baltimore lady, they still are popular here. Originally there was a mix up with distribution for their first album, and the copies wound up in Baltimore. But CTS really did get messed over by their first record label. A very tight, underrated band that never really had a chance at huge success...

[@chuckschillingvideos]

We Want Mine is the band's FU to their label. Basically, Lifesongs only cared about their Jim Croce catalog and couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help Crack the Sky.

[@Deborahtunes]

@@chuckschillingvideos ~ This is true. The record label cared more about their "golden boy", then their new talent...

[@darkmadder4676]

Dude Check out Flashlight by Crack the Sky super tight Drums and Bass!

[@googoo-gjoob]

CTS is my 4th fav band of all-time..... 1. *Beatles* 2. Bruuuuuce 3. The WHO 4. Crack The SKY 5. Pink Floyd 6. Lyle Lovett 7. Robert Cray

[@jsd406]

Yes was a good comparison (and you can add in Rush, too) although I think CTS has better songs. As others have said CTS still sells out many shows in Baltimore, WV, and Pittsburgh. While not making it too big outside the mid-Atlantic region, there music is superb and performances outstanding. First saw them live in 1980 and as recently as last year. Looking forward to many more years of enjoyment and thank you for picking these songs.

[@Lewis9709]

Check out Crack the Sky "Nuclear Apathy". Classic.

[@corangerc]

@Carry On Music We third!!! CTS rules

[@pittdave]

gotta do From The Greenhouse

[@RandomVideos-yq2fr]

Crack the sky RCOKS!

[@mrnobody3161]

Wow. Old White Progressive Rocker up in Canada. I found Crack the Sky when I was a teenager in the 1970's. First time ever I've found anyone else who new of them. Highly underrated and unknown. They're working on a new album right now to. This gets a Subscribe from me!

[@Lewis9709]

Dude you need to hear this in stereo. The guitar solo at the very end is completely drowned out.

[@kentinatl]

Great choice ..try "rangers at midnight" by them..love your reactions..first i have seen a crack the sky reaction..Kent in Ohio

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

Love me some Crack The Sky !! Robots for Ronnie !! A Sea Epic !!! Rangers at Midnight !!! Ice !!

[@Tricknologyinc]

I've been trying to get people to react to CRACK THE SKY! This Band Is The HARD ROCK NUCLEAR STEROID TRIPPY SYNCOPATION BROADWAY SHOW! LOL

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Try She's A Dancer next.

[@CthulhuWaitsDreaming]

Totally different song than this one but my favorite song from this same album is Robots For Ronnie.

[@notgivennotgiven7776]

Look pretty, here comes yourself. Yeah. Peace

[@jtbatz]
