Swallow Tales is a 1971 album by British country rock band Cochise.
Cochise was most well known for guitarist Mick Grabham, who joined British rock band Procol Harum after Cochise dissolved in 1972. [1] The album was released in 1971, [2] and featured several supporting artists including Tim Renwick and Cat Batchelor. [3] The album was released by music label Liberty Records. [4]
The album was originally released as an LP, and was later released on CD. The album was produced by Dick Taylor in conjunction with the band. [2]
The band were formed in 1969 and released their first album, Cochise, in 1970. [2] The makeup of the band changed greatly before the recording of Swallow Tales as lead singer Stewart Brown was replaced by John Gilbert. [5] Guitarist BJ Cole said that Gilbert's voice contrasted with the voice of Brown, as Gilbert sounded best on rock songs whereas Brown was more mellow. [2] Critic Richie Unterberger (of Allmusic), however, felt that the music sounded largely the same as on their previous self-titled album, and described them as "middle of the pack" with neither "stylistic distinction" or "top-shelf songwriting". [5]
The song-writing was done entirely by guitarists Mick Grabham and Cole, with the exception of "Love's Made a Fool of You" which is by Buddy Holly and Bob Montgomery. [5]
