Red Sea

Red Sea is the second and last album by English hard rock band Warhorse. The band is most known for its bass player, who was the original bassist of Deep Purple ("Mark 1") from 1968 to 1969 for the first three albums.
Warhorse's second album was basically more of the same prog rock-proto metal. Sometimes it sounded a little more mainstream rock, as on "Confident But Wrong" or the cover of the old soul ballad "I (Who Have Nothing)." Ashley Holt was tending to hit more annoying high notes, though; the warbles on "Back in Time," for instance, were unconscious models for the kind of singing so ably parodied by Spinal Tap. The CD reissue has six previously unreleased bonus tracks, including a live version of "Ritual" (a song from the first Warhorse album) and five demos of Nick Simper compositions that do not appear on the two Warhorse LPs.

Line-up:
Ashley Holt – vocals
