Artist –For The First Time/ Every Lady Does It –Peppermint Presents PP1132 (1977 US)
Every Lady Does It is a hard and meaty Midwestern cruncher. It’s a real though performance balancing quite tuneful lead parts with a metronomic Cowbell and driving drums that keep proceedings focused on the ultimate crunching ride. The vocals are also spot on and never venture into any dodgy histrionics. The A side is more of a grower as it’s less instantly startling, but the feel and tasteful musicianship makes it a worthwhile detour to take with an unexpected vocal delivery and surprising chord changes
Recorded at Peppermint Studios (Youngstown OH), Artist were probably local however calling the band “Artist” makes Googling rather pointless. Anyone know any more about this one?

I can see Roy Wood doing the vocals on this one!
Al Tkach was my brother. He just passed on October 6, 2020. His funeral is tomorrow. He founded Artist and Reality Rock in Youngstown, Ohio.
Al knew Roy Wood in Pioneertown, CA.
That's my uncle Al Tkach and his band.
He recently passed away, and my mom is working on having his most recent stuff put on CD.
