Notes:  A grand collection of talent with one foot in the blues and the other skipping along the rock/jazz edge. Separately and together the musicians presented here hold their own among any of their contemporaries. A nice cover of the Donovan song "Catch the Wind" first caught my ear, but the entire album holds your attention. The tunes had been previously released on various albums and make for a nice grouping here. A nice psychedelic "doodle-esque" front cover and some b&w's of the fellows on the back. Jam on...
