Once a legendary member of the group Steppenwolf, and later an in-demand session guitarist in the 70s! This 1968 set captures Mars right at the crossroads – and while the album's certainly got some of the full, fierce guitar we love in Steppenwolf (including some of those great dipping-low lines that were the group's early trademark) – it's also got some grittier edges that belie Mars' role in the late 60s Sunset Strip scene, and his sometimes association with Kim Fowley. There's almost a bit of Fowley growl and grit on the best numbers here – and a similarly messed-up approach to rock and roll that has Mars nicely falling apart a bit, at a time when others were getting a bit more tightened up. Tracks include "Lady Moon Walker", "Sad Eyes", "Faster Than The Speed Of Life", "She", "Ride With Me Bobby", and "In Christina's Arms". LP, Vinyl record album
