Notes

The only album recommend by this San Antonio, Texas based combo. Originally released in 1970. Psychedelia/progressive rock with some very fine guitar work. Includes 2 bonus tracks 'Sunrise' & 'Dandelion Wine'. This band recorded in Houston although they originated from San Antonio in Texas. Musically they ranged from psychedelia to more progressive rock.

Their first 45 was a strange rework of Willie Nelson's I Never Cared For You on the 'A' side. The third, particularly Sunrise, marked the pinnacle of their achievements in the arena of psychedelic rock. Their album is more progressive than psychedelic but it features some fine guitar work and is recommended. Christopher Cross, who achieved considerable success as a solo artist in the early eighties, had some involvement with their LP and rumour has it that Van Wilkes played on their 45s.

Galen Niles was earlier a member of The Outcasts and played on their final scorching 45, 1523 Blair. He also played as session musician on Still In Love With You Baby (The Argyles) and Help I'm Lost (The Mind's Eye.
