Newbie Stoner Rock Fans, Start Here!

"I'm just getting into Stoner Rock via my love of Black Sabbath, and this band is fantastically close to that classic sound! I much prefer these dudes to Fu Manchu, Nebula, Sleep, Monster Magnet, Kyuss AND Queens of the Stone Age. If you want Sabbath-derived Stoner Rock instead of, say, Stooges/MC5 Stoner Rock, or Hawkwind or BOC-sounding Stoner Rock, start here! There are even some hints of Humble Pie to give it that full-on 70s groove. Buy it immediately - I just ordered their 2001 album, Elusive Truth - can't wait!"

Im amazed at the creativity

"this is agreat album. i never heard an acoustic song so heavy and good. this is an important album in this genre. very moody and cool. these guys are setting the tone for all heavy bands to follow. even c.o.c. who is big on columbia could take lessons from this band. great tone and vibe, not to metal. a masterpiece. i guess when you strike gold like this the only thing left is to break up. what a shame because im wearing this cd out.great work guys."

Wino On Maximum Overdrive

"There is not a single throwaway track on this CD, although "Kill Ugly Naked" is my least favorite track. While Spirit Caravan displays influences from obvious sources like Sabbath, Zeppelin and possibly early Trapeze, Wino's axemanship has a style which is unique to him IMHO. This is hard rock/heavy metal/stoner rock at its best, regardless of what you call it. I would have given it more than 5 stars if I could."

"Let your third eye glow!"

"Simply put, Jug Fulla Sun is THE rock album of the year. These guys are so good it's scary. Wino's musical vision seems to be at its most intense alongside Sherman and Gary. Jug Fulla Sun has an aesthetic dimension to it that's increasingly appreciated with time. Wino's guitar tone has been described as having a "shiny" quality to it - and it "shines" through on every track. Cosmic Artifact and Lost Sun Dance will blow your mind. Not only does "God" apply his virtuoso instrumental prowess throughout, but also intelligently lends his soaring epic voice over the top. Wino's vocal tone seems to reside somewhere between John Kay and vintage Leslie West, although it's a hell of a lot more flexible than either and his style is more vintage Ozzy than Lemmy (unlike in The Obsessed perhaps). But even those direct comparisons are unfair and though Sabbath is an obvious influence (as it should be to any appreciating rock musician of Wino's generation), they are hardly a Sabbath clone as less discriminating people may suggest, because it's just totally f'ng Spirit Caravan, and they are WAY TOO CREATIVE to ever mistake them for their predecessors, no matter how great those bands were. Lump them into the stoner rock jumble at your own peril -- you'd be hard pressed to find more sincere or talented musicians - and in an age where cancerous commercialism has sought to turn rock into indie-pop or stupid rap-rock, Jug Fulla Sun is revitalizing. Only perhaps Gov't Mule's Dose can stand alongside Jug Fulla Sun as the THE "three-piece" album of our time!"

"Of all the bands that Wino appeared in,Jug Fulla Sun cd is his best effort.The songs are extremely cool doom metal with a biker edge.The great Dave Sherman of Earthride and Wretched and Gary Isom are also members of Spirit Caravan.If you are a fan of Place of Skulls,Earthride and Saint Vitus,then Jug Fulla Sun from Spirit Caravan IS A MUST HAVE!!!!!"
