Description
Fully remastered 2 bonus tracks. One of the best ‘lost’ Southern Rock albums. Includes ‘Mindbender’ and the guitar blazing ‘Sam’s Jam’. 12-page full colour booklet - 4000 word essay new interview enhanced artwork and rarely seen photos. An impressive seven piece hailing from Macon Georgia the band first arrived on our radar back in the seventies when they were filmed by the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test programme playing in a local club as part of Capricorn record’s annual picnic. The track shown was ‘Sam’s Jam’ a masterful guitar-drenched epic that sent a shock wave through the ranks of Southern Rock aficionados. Formed in the early seventies and featuring a classic three man guitar line up the band courted much attention eventually signing with the Macon-based Capricorn label home to The Allman Brothers Band and Wet Willie amongst many others. It was a fitting pairing with the band attracting much attention earning strong praise and delivering one of the finest albums of the period. Paired with Buddy Buie songwriter and producer for the Atlanta Rhythm Section the band recorded their album at the legendary Studio One facility in Doraville. Issued in 1977 the record contains a clutch of superb songs including ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Loser’ ‘Out On A Limb’ and ‘Mindbender’ a single (featuring the use of a Talk Box) that reached the US top 50 chart. Naturally the album also features the near ten minute centrepiece ‘Sam’s Jam’ showcasing a blazing guitar showdown in the finest Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers tradition. Frankly it doesn’t get much better than this.
