Man, what a prolific time this was for McCoy Tyner…in the space of a few months he laid down the sessions that would become <i>The Real McCoy, Time for Tyner, Tender Moments</I> and <i>Expansions</i> - all with a ton of original compositions.

This record gets cited most often for McCoy's take on the standard "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top"…for my money, the track you want is McCoy's own "May Street", a nice up-tempo modal romp with some furious interplay between he and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson.

Here's where you help: pick the "most definitive" early metal track to be included on the <i>History of Metal</i> mixtape which will be released later this year…Vote throughout the next week in the poll which you will find in the upper left hand corner of burningdervish.com…Check back in coming weeks to vote for tracks representing glam, punk, power metal and even more arcane…
