Wyoming - In Prison (1972)


The second and final album from this German band.

Wyoming was really the creative vehicle of the vocalist Pete Bender. He was the son of a US pair who lived in Germany and the US army in Germany after the war.
Pete Bender were also the vocalist in the German band The Flaming Stars.
The lineup in Wyoming was hired in guitarists, drummer, organ player and bassist.

I reviewed the self-titled debut album some days ago and were not that impressed by it. That album was released in 1971.

Wyoming has gone more or less clean rock on In Prison.

There is lots of rockabilly, straight rock and some pop on this album. The music is pretty hard rocking at times too. The music is happy and full of joy. It is bubblegum music too.

The sound is very much in the 1970s vein.

These forty minutes is pretty dire and has no good or even decent songs.

This album is a turkey and nothing more than that.
