If course this is Rock & Roll Cool Hunter's Grail. 'It's one of the most harrowing documents of pain and confusion ever made.' Therefore you're probably well advised to have it in your record collection.
Former Moby Grape guitarist Skip Spence had recently left. Bellvue Hospital following an attempt to attack band members Don Stevenson and Jerry Milled with a fire axe. This is his only solo record.
It's a wonderful record. One that creeps ip om and gradually spooks you. It clearly has a heavy heart and a troubled tread but its not a record whose legend has a longer shadow than it deserves. It sings the blues.
