Notes:  Known primarily as a Bob Weir side project, this album gathers together recordings spanning the history of the band, before and after Bob. Starting in 1973 and rolling right up to the time of the pressing the band plays its version of boogie, rock and country tinged blues. You could see this band fitting right in at an outdoor BBQ and beerfest. Bikers, grandma's and the children all stomping around in the dirt and smiling up a storm. Dave Torbert had recorded previously with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, leaving after the Panama Red album to form Kingfish. This album is not to be confused with the 1995 Arista release of the same name. The cover shows Neptune (I assume) upon his royal steed coming at 'cha. Good stuff.
