Tyrannosaurus Rex - Ride A White Swan Summertime Blues
Review by Matt Mathison
The album Ride A White Swan Summertime Blues by Tyrannosaurus Rex is a classic example of psychedelic folk rock from the 60s. The album features the unique vocals and acoustic guitar of Marc Bolan, accompanied by the percussion and bongos of Steve Peregrin Took. The album's title track, "Ride A White Swan," is a standout hit that showcases Bolan's talent for writing catchy, upbeat melodies. The album also includes a cover of the classic blues song "Summertime Blues," which is given a unique twist with Bolan's distinctive vocals and Took's energetic percussion. Ride A White Swan Summertime Blues is a must-listen for fans of 60s psychedelic rock and folk music.

Simply ace ???
Wonderful video and just love the photo's! Marc always charmed and mesmerized me...caught up into him back in '70 - '71 when I was about 13....I am now 62 and love him still! Thanks for the uploads of such great videos.....never enough of Marc Bolan.....Beautiful man.
Love his chopping guitar sound he makes it sing, where gone rock with love yeah
One of many brilliant Bolan songs his guitar and voice were so uniqur
Oh baby!
Brown Album. For me nearly on par with Electric Warrior and Slider. This trio made me huge fan.
As simple as it is, this exactly is the sort of rhythm that made me Bolan crazy. He lost it. however.
very nice song i like it
Great song, with great photos! This is such a boppin', rockin' song. And you always make such excellent, lovely videos. Thanks very much! :)
wonderful track, just one aspect of Marc"s stunning work
yes it is
I am 12 again and instantly returned to the first, heart-racing excitement of hearing Bolan's newly-discovered electric rock for the first time - burnt this b-side (to Ride a white swan?) out on my mono player - thank you for this
love it well done
The eternal question ... is it love ??? The video is super !
I love this album T.REX ! I was 13 YEARS OLD and started to be infected with T;REXMANIA !
