Don Caballero

[Yesspaz]

Their first two albums, FOR RESPECT and DON CABALLERO 2 are definitely a little heavier than thier other albums. Also, in typical prog fashion, they can't keep a bass player. Hey have had a different bassist literally every album, although one was a returning member, ala Wakeman. So the sound changed slightly each album, but it was always Don Cab, the way Yes always sounds like Yes and KC always sounds like KC, no matter who is in.

The main reason I suggested to get started with AMERICAN DON over the others is not the heaviness, but the length. FOR RESPECT has 11 tracks, but is barely over 35 minutes, which tells you that 7 of the tracks are between 2 and 3 minutes, with the longest barely topping 6. AMERICAN DON, on the other hand, is much longer, almost 50 minutes, with only 9 tracks, including a 10 minute, a 9 minute, and a couple of 7 minute tracks. However, all the albums are very good.
