Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting his transformative experiences in Los Angeles' burgeoning counterculture hub, the British blues pioneer recorded this introspective travelogue with a stripped-down quartet featuring a young Mick Taylor on guitar. The continuous suite of songs drifts between traditional blues frameworks and the atmospheric, laid-back aesthetic of the California rock scene.
