Let Me In - POOBAH***

Mr Destroyer/Enjoy What You Have/Live To Work/Bowleen/Rock & Roll/Let Me In

Let Me In was the debut album from the Ohio heavy rock band Poobah. They released two more albums during the 1970s and several more afterwards. However, despite some good reviews they remain largely unknown.

“If you're into the early 70s hard rock with strong guitar work then this first Poobah album is worth checking out. Fans of heavy psych should listen to this as well although the psychedelic elements are quite limited.”

“American hard rock done really well, with great instrumental work and boundless enthusiasm for the awesomeness of rocking.”

Let Me In is a raw, but very powerful, hard rock album and can easily be seen as the blueprint for which most Midwest rock albums sound like.”

“Pounding blue collar hard rock, some psychedelic moves and songwriting is on the simple basic side. As much as I want to love it the songs are just a little too flat. Second tier all the way.”

“Big money indie hard rock album with plenty of flaws but still good. Let Me In is a great heavy psych rocker with a few dumb moments, but smoking in the band department. A must for hard rock fiends.”

“This band is referred to as psychedelic and I have yet to fully understand why. Let Me In exhibits some elements that can be considered just that. However, the fuzzed out and wah-wahed guitars present all over the opening cut, are no more psychedelic than Black Sabbath's first two albums.”
