Song list: Tarotplane
Kandy Korn
25th Century Quaker
Mirror Man
This album is a little rough around the edges, but it holds the first signs that the Magic Band
was leaning towards a more radical blues/rock interpretation. The songs are very long,
so this may be difficult listening for a first/second purchase. If you
are a blues fan, it makes an excellent choice. My preference is to listen to it while
driving.
