Reviews
The JPT Scare band mastered the jam and then some. The band recorded this album in their basement practice space in 1973. And despite the basement and 1973 part, the sound is pretty damn good....it sounds like a live recording done in a some small roadhouse club and even can beat the pants out of some studio recordings of that era. This trio shows exceptional chemistry and musicianship. Guitarist Terry Swope often takes center stage with a guitar sound that alternates between a snarling beast and a gentle breeze. often in the same song. How this guy missed being a guitar god is beyond me. Maybe he spent a little too much time down in the basement. Swope's personal style and sound alternate between a more lucid Jimmy Hendrix and a more loose Robin Trower. This isn't to take credit away from the rest of the band....often they seem to achieve some weird magic in the middle of a jam where everything comes together in a cosmic explosion. As an added bonus, on of the jams comes replete with sounds like a tin whistle. You haven't heard a jam until you've heard a jam go down with a tin whistle. Goosebumps aplenty. 8 out of 10.

A
jam session well done....there is no replacement for that kinda feeling.
The Dead did it, Santana, Ten Years After, the Allman Bros. and now there
is a whole league of new
bands doing the jam. I'm all for it, nothing is better than getting lost
in a well executed conversation between instruments.
