Dillinger (not to be confused with the reggae band of the same name) was a Canadian progressive band from Toronto Ontario. The band's debut self titled album was originally released on the Daffodil Records label in 1974. The album contained three original songs composed by the band and a superb cover of the song "Nature's Way", originally done by Spirit from the 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus album.
The music of Dillinger was a complex guitar and organ fronted progressive sound with moves from jazz to blues that featured a variety of instruments including piano, synthesizers, flute, sax, acoustic and electric guitars bass and percussion. In places the band sounded like Santana, while in other places Iron Butterfly or Emerson Lake and Palmer. Dillinger had a unique sound for a Canadian band that attracted more attention in Europe than it did in North America.

Want to Discuss This Album?
With long songs and drawn out solos, Dillinger was more or less one of your typical early 70's progressive bands , nothing special but none the less interesting and typical of the genre. This release by Unidisc is a straight reissue of the original album at a budget price and contains no bonus tracks.
