Notes

Whilst still with Mighty Baby, Martin Stone recorded a rare album called Southern Comfort with American blues harmonica player Walter ‘Shakey’ Horton when the legendary Chicago blues harpist visited the UK in 1968. Southern Comfort is a superb showcase for his talents,as well as those of bassist Jerome Arnold (the Butterfield Blues Band), drummer JessieC. Lewis (Otis Rush) and trailblazing guitarist Martin Stone (Savoy Brown and Mighty Baby). Though mostly a superb blues set. Only 404 copies were sold of this album. It's now VERY rare.

Though mostly a superb blues set, however, it’s best-known today for the epic closing track - one of the most mind-blowing psychedelic workouts ever recorded.
