Description
This album features traditional blues covers and the guitar work of Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop.
The album is also credited with spawning the harder acid rock sound. The track “East-West”, with its early use of the extended rock solo, has been described as laying “the roots of psychedelic acid rock” and featuring “much of acid-rock’s eventual DNA”.
The band members appearing on the album were all inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.
