Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recording partially in Nashville, the bandleader notably incorporated prominent country elements into his established psychedelic blues-rock foundation. The sessions feature key contributions from session aces like Wayne Moss, enriching the arrangements with pedal steel and a distinctly rootsy atmosphere. The politically charged 'Jackson-Kent Blues' explicitly anchored the record in the turbulent anti-war protests of the era.
