It's like three bands in one: soul/r&B with horns (very much like Blood, Sweat & Tears), late 60s pop/rock (Spencer Davis, etc) and late 60s heavy guitar rock (Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Zeppelin, etc). Ignoring the Hendrix-influencing (yes, an influence on Jimi) guitar solo and the noisy section of Liberation, this is an accomplished collection, political and musical statement.
