"This isnt the place to start with Flower Travellin Band.If you dont have "Satori" yet,go buy that & have your mind blown,and then come back to this review.

Ok,so now you're ready for more.Heres their first release,comprised of all cover songs.I feel that they impart their own stamp on these tunes,which should be the whole idea of doing covers in the first place.Interesting that they cover "Black Sabbath" the same year it was released(?)This cd is worth the price of that alone!"

"While there are some weaker moments, mainly during the covers ( House of the Rising Sun, and 20th Century Schizoid Man) this band wails.

And I agree with a previous reviewer - SATORI is the better album - heavier, with with some more realized musicianship.



But this is a classic, if only for the cover photo, which reveals a little more of the band than most would like to see!

These folks were into their art, and their lifestyle, and as sincere as it gets (variously colored perm wiggy hair aside!).

A generous time capsule from a period long gone, and hard to be surprised by for our jaded ears and cynical minds.



great stuff
