The group comprised members from various bands in Tallahassee, Florida.
They got together with lyricist Linda Hargrove (later a Nashville songwriter) to create a concept album,
to "emulate the new styles of the era; acid rock, classical rock, surrealism in lyrics
and complexity of form". A one-off project, all returned to their individual careers
as soon as it was finished in 1969. The album is organ-dominated progressive rock
with a psychedelic taint and a clear classical influence

After All may have only been a band in the loosest sense of the term, but its only record is a quite wonderful
-- if ultimately difficult to categorize -- one-shot relic of the transitional late-'60s.
The four members of the combo were actually friends and acquaintances in different bands
on the Tallahassee, FL, rock circuit before culling their skills together, along with lyrical assistance
from young local poet and songwriter Linda Hargrove, when an opportunity to record an album
in a Nashville studio presented itself. The resulting piece of work is the type of strangely compelling
hybrid album that could only have come together in the musical gumbo of the post-psychedelic era.
Hargrove's beautifully lustful and longing words frequently create an interesting tension
with the spacier instrumental interplay, and the music is even more enigmatic as a result.
After All is not easy to fully enter, but it is well worth the effort. As obscurities from the era go,
it may not be one of the most fascinating, but it may have some
of the most accomplished musicianship ...(AllMusic+Acid Fuzz & Flowers)
