THE CHARLATANS
The Charlatans were the very first San Francisco underground rock band. Their story begins back in the Summer of 1964 when George Hunter, inspired by the Beatles, decided to form a rock band. He got together with Richard Olsen, an old college friend, and Mike Wilhelm, a folk singer who had been at school with him. Later that year, Mike Ferguson, who owned an antique shop in San Francisco and had just returned from a trip to Mexico, joined as pianist. Sam Linde was their original drummer, although he was later replaced by Dan Hicks.

The self-titled Charlatans album, later released as San Francisco 1969, is a rather gorgeous and gently challenging piece of San Francisco rock, incorporating elements of blues and big-band swing, as well as '50s rock & roll and elegant '60s pop. It might not be as quite as overpowering creatively as the best records by the Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, or Grateful Dead, but it is one of the prettiest and most subtly beguiling albums to come out of the '60s San Francisco scene, and is also essential listening, as well as being just plain delightful...(AllMusic)
