The record captures the grit of the late sixties Chicago music scene through a mix of bluesy improvisation and tight, pop-leaning songwriting. It features experimental guitar work on Free Form Guitar that stands apart from the era.
This collection reflects the raw, live-in-the-studio energy of a band refusing to pick a single stylistic lane. Musicians utilized jazz horns to build a new sound, moving away from traditional arrangements for rock groups.
