Hi from Cy
Wasn't sure what to expect, (back to the horrid album cover debate), however, this came over as a cross between Canned Heat and many of the early 'hard rock' bands that evolved 1970+.
The album got the toes tapping. The singer and the players are way above average, but some of the songs just ain't that important, ha ha the old lyric debate?
Thanks for the share.
