Notes

---

Reissue of very heavy, very good & very rare album cut by this American act for the All American label in 1970. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes, it contains all eight of the original tracks, the original artwork & the original packaging. Digipak. A Californian band (commune/family) who recorded their first album in Hollywood. The best track is the unheavy Wake Me Up In The Morning. The album, sometimes titled Confusion also included an interesting long version of Saint James Infirmary.

Influenced by the guitar sounds of Hendrix, Cream and Jeff Beck, The Bill Holmes produced Confusion is an incendiary classic of British blues style guitar rock. The band, not to be confused with the similarly
named and of course more popular Big Brother and the Holding Company made a name for themselves as a great live performance, often encouraging audience participation. Their on stage energy comes across well on the record, resulting in a loose charismatic album that only slows down long enough to sing a serenade on "Wake Me In The Morning." The rest blisters through with searing guitar virtuosity from Ernie Joseph and an organ sound that shows no signs of prog's impending overindulgence. A rock record from start to finish.
