Morly Grey – The Only Truth

From Rockasteria:

“Since its rediscovery in the early ’80s, Morly Grey’s “The Only Truth” album has become known mostly as the quintessential hard rock/psychedelic collectable, skyrocketing in value and inspiring countless bootleg versions. For brothers Mark and Tim Roller, everything had been building up to Morly Grey since the Alliance, Ohio natives both got into rock ‘n’ roll as preteens in the 1950s.

First came guitar-playing, then came the Beatles for initial inspiration and then came a series of late ’60s bands: the Chads, Popcorn Treaty and Rust, As the brothers’ first group to play professional gigs, Rust was a turning point for the Rollers (then in high school)—gigging regionally at clubs in Cleveland, Akron, Salem and their hometown as the quintet played an assortment of Cream, Hendrix, the Doors and similar covers.

It was a start, but the Roller brothers were getting bored. “We were just doing cover music iike everybody was doing, but we wanted to do something different that we weren’t copying anybody, we were doing all our own writing/’ Mark recalled. Consequently, when attrition reduced Rust to a core trio of Mark, Tim and drummer Paul Cassidy in late 1969, the three knew exactly what they wanted to do: original music. Adding ex-Coming Generation guitarist Randy Byron, the band was renamed Morly Grey.”
