Album Description
Spirit wrote the book on the sound they created: a potent synthesis of high-voltage rock, folk, jazz, blues and avant garde electronica. The groundbreaking Los Angeles quintet hit their stride with The Family That Plays Together, whose mega-hit "I Got a Line On You" practically defined underground FM radio in 1968. Spirit's 1969 album Clear found them polishing their art to a fine sheen with dusky jewels like "Dark Eyed Woman and "So Little Time to Fly." Sundazed is knocked-out to present perfect recreations (including Family's striking gatefold sleeve) of both LPs on high-definition vinyl, from the absolute master tapes.
One of the most adventurous bands of the late 1960s, Spirit never really found as wide an audience as they deserved for their eclectic blend of rock, jazz, blues, and pop. The closest the group came to mainstream acceptance was this, their 1968-released second album. Propelled by guitarist Randy California's catchy riffing, his stepfather-drummer Ed Cassidy's rock-solid beat, and Jay Ferguson's bluesy vocal, "I Got a Line on You" became a Top 40 hit single, and listeners who were interested enough to buy the LP were rewarded with such broad-horizoned fare as keyboardist John Locke's jazz-flecked "Space Chile," Ferguson's string-aided "Silky Sam," and California and Cassidy's frisky "It's All the Same." --Billy Altman
