Notes: After
releasing some of their longer pieces on previous records the band
sticks to some shorter works here. This is the 3rd release and
it features Nick Hopkins on various keyboards and strings. And
like everything he's played on it's a brilliant outing. The band
seems to draw from his sound and it enhances their own brand of
psychedelic country blues folk whatzit. Gary Duncan, who was involved
in the previous two records, didn't make these sessions and word
on the street is that he was visiting one of San Francisco's finest
law enforcement facilities at the time. The cover painting seems
suited to a gatefold cover, but my copy doesn't open. Very nice
relaxing shady grove it is.
