Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released in the immediate aftermath of their triumphant Woodstock appearance, this compilation perfectly captures the Los Angeles band's unique, highly amplified resurrection of pre-war country blues. Anchored by Al Wilson's falsetto and immense slide guitar work, the collection gathers their massive, relentlessly grooving hits like 'On the Road Again' and 'Going Up the Country,' defining the era's heavily psychedelic blues-rock sound.
