Notes: Although
my copy is pretty beat up I had to add this record. As much as
any music I listened to in jr. high school this record helped shape
my musical view of the world. They were raw, but in a controlled
manner. They did tunes by Hoyt Axton and Willie Dixon and their
originals were like nothing I had heard before. Drug references
and psychedelic clothes along with the metal foil cover grabbed
your attention and held it throughout. John Kay is still clinging
to the Steppenwolf name to this day and touring about. I don't
know what happened to the rest of the guys, but I hope the royalties
find them somehow. The musical world would be a bit different if
these guys never got together and I think a little less colorful.
Thanks guys, if only for the "heavy metal thunder".
