Very nice work from Lowell Fulsom – strongly in the mode of his Tramp album for Kent, with a mix of blues and 60s soul, coming together in a sock-hard style that's much better than a lot of Fulsom's other work for other labels!

A tripped-out funky number that begins with some great guitar – scratching away in a Sly Stone mode, before the track rolls into vocals by Phil Flowers, with a weird heavy soul kind of sound. Kind of in the rock/funk mode – like other work on Epic at the time! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
