Lost Treasure

"As a classic rock DJ on a public radio station I am always looking for gems and nuggets, overlooked and undervalued. This is the best New Old music I've heard in a good while. It has real blues roots and the kind of great guitar you'd expect from someone who played in Jimi Hendrix's group, (before he was famous in the US.) It's psychedelic electric blues; it's what I wish the Black Crowes would do. After I was gifted with this CD I could hardly bear to take it out of the CD player in my car, because in a little convertible, with the volume turned up, it can make you feel 17 again. I promise."

American Psychedelia

"This was/is a great example of what the west coast psychedelic crowd was capable of at one time. Continuous reinvention and no time for boredom. Hearing this again brings back memories of smokey basements with legless maroon sofas, stereo toast nailed to graffiti sheeted walls... white clinical, turkey buns, orange double barrel and California Sunshine.



If that makes no sense mix 500 micrograms of any of the above in your OJ and slip this into the CD player.



This is some of my favorite acidrock and definitely pure Randy California sans additives/preservatives or any other harmful chemicals."

Incredible covers-- awesome originals

"Better than any I have ever heard within the genre of psychedelia- including Jimi. A very uplifting experience with a master of the guitar. The riff from Roxy Music's "Mother of Pearl" is to be found buried somewhere in this great music."
