"This is Leigh Stevens first solo album after leaving the super loud, original heavy metal group Blue Cheer. But don't expect more metal on this one. Stevens is still raw here, but it's pure late 60's psychedelia, especially evident in the raw title track with its distorted vocals and out-there lyrics. Portions of Yes's "I've Seen All Good People" sound like they could have been lifted from Stevens' "Indians". Nicky Hopkins' fine piano work in the instrumental "Drifting" makes this dated album well worth the purchase alone."

Puff!

"(1969) leigh stephens 1st album after leaving blue cheer. excellent late 60's post-psych. more acid-tinged stoner rock & roll than the previous heavy blue cheer primal sludge. wish they would have included the b-side only track "saki zwadoo" from the red weather 45. great album to get high with. get it."
