Well, first off, if you've never heard this, GO GET IT NOW -- REALLY, NOW! This is one of the greatest albums in the rock world of ALL time. Simply put, this album kicks ass, is musically brilliant, has some of the best dynamics ever, and -- if you are a rock dude or dudess -- will become one of your faves.
This "album" has remained virtually unknown since it came out in the early 70s. If you recall, albums had sides then, and the second side of this was a set of several songs that were strung together into an on-going masterpiece. That was a problem for airplay. Even the tunes on the first side were a bit much for radio of the times, though I did hear a few tracks on the lesser known stations back then. CB got most of their play with the title track from their second album, Sufficiently Breathless. And, great as that tune is, it gives the listener a rather false identity of the band's full-frontal assault heard here.
Lee Dorman (bass), Rhino Reinhardt (ax), Bobby Caldwell (skins), and Rod Evans (vocals, cow bell) are the culprits. Look them all up or see the myriad reviews here for factoids and band associations. I will mention that Rod Evans is getting the most airplay ever on TV these days with the "Hush" Jaguar ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q-xxNp-XK4
