Notes:  A staple of San Franciso's music scene, Quicksilver was the rootsy, jamming end of the spectrum. Backed by a tight horn section on this one the music feels comfortable, familiar. The cover art is period Haight/Ashbury sixties in both nature and color scheme. The cable car, the Victorian houses and the blend of rock and tradition take us back to the roots of the whole thing. But, I digresss...just look at the pretty pitcures.
