SPIRIT
Spirit was a highly regarded rock band that achieved modest commercial success,
charting 11 albums in the U.S. between 1968 and 1977. Founded in Los Angeles in 1967 by musicians
who had a mixture of rock, pop, folk, blues, classical, and jazz backgrounds,
the group had an eclectic musical style in keeping with the early days of progressive rock;
they were as likely to play a folk ballad featuring fingerpicked acoustic guitar,
a jazz instrumental full of imaginative improvisation, or a driving rhythm tune
dominated by acid rock electric guitar playing

Although this album may not be seen as the definitive Spirit statement, it has several moments of brilliance that prove what a revolutionary band they were. Coming off of the success of The Family That Plays Together and "I Got a Line on You," the group entered the studio with Lou Adler once again in the producer's chair. Unfortunately, the group appeared to be beginning to fragment, and it shows on this uneven but ultimately fine album. "Dark Eyed Woman" opens the album with promise, and it is indeed one of Spirit's hardest-rocking studio performances. Randy California's inspired guitar solo is one of the finest performances of the period. The riff and general feel of the track (right down to the siren sound effects) were borrowed by Traffic on "Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory."...(AllMusic)price rating
