Album Notes & Community Reviews

The band's second album, with banjoist Bill Keith and singer Maria D'Amato, later Maria Muldaur, newly in the lineup and D'Amato singing 'I'm a Woman'. Its programme runs from an unusual version of Chuck Berry's 'Memphis' to the title track, with Mel Lyman's liner notes presenting the group as a communal household.
