Bethlehem Asylum – Commit Yourself To Bethlehem Asylum

Southern rock fused with early jazz-influenced prog rock – their only two releases on a single CD, not available since the original 1970-71 releases

Bethlehem Asylum’s only two albums, combined on this CD, provide an insight into the future of fusion and prog rock artists that would follow. The first album (‘Commit Yourself’) offers more jazzy instrumentation and superb work on piano, saxophone and flute. The eponymous second album has more harmonising but the psychedelic sounds of the late 60s are on full display, with rock and jazz fused and then veering into more spacey prog rock.

Bethlehem Asylum originated in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area in Florida although they toured extensively all over the southern United States, had a good reputation as a live act and were often double-billed with The Allman Brothers Band.
