Recognize very much that this isn't quite my thing. It's not that I think it's bad or have any reason that makes me not like it but this wouldn't be earnest casual listening for me if I'm honest. It would be like cosplay and feel a little phony, though I could see throwing back some beers and washing my car on a hot summer day with this on and would enjoy that immensely for what it was. Surprisingly my takeaways were Glory Be and Sinister Purpose which are, respectively, totally instrumental and John Fogerty being at his least John Fogerty. Would throw those into rotation.

I don’t know how I’d missed this!

I have liked and loved them for a long time but have listened much more to 1973’s Fresh and have never listened to this album as a whole. I find that it has two personalities, one of the Summer of Love, call and response, flower power style and the other that bends towards a funkier, meatier sound. To that effect, beyond the banger that is Everyday People, I loved most D.C.M.N.W. and would but Sex Machine on just about any time.

Shame to discover this just as he’s off Spotify, but nothing if not worth finding another platform for 36 minutes of perfect music for anything. I already knew a couple songs but this is a listen through that gives you everything you need. Can’t wait to sit back in the sun and let this wash over me.

I don't think I learned much from this listen. They have some bops, it's funkier than I remember, but feels like a boring alt white guy with dreads to me.

Great ambient background music.
