Dave Clempson fronts this power trio with a focus on loud blues-rock arrangements. A standout moment occurs during their distorted take on a composition by Bach. The collection functions as a link from the blues craze into the harder progressive music emerging at the end of the decade.
The recording showcases the rough, direct power common to the local circuit during this era. Technical choices emphasize the friction between the sharp guitar parts and a drum and bass foundation that mimics the atmosphere of a crowded room.
