Reviews
"...when everything clicks, I defy the hair on the back of your neck not to stand up....here's a `lost' album that genuinely deserves exhumation....Not to be missed...", "...you'll find here the same crisp, clear, uncluttered arrangements that Taj later perfected....a stone delight, and a lot more than a historical footnote...", "...gives a revealing look at Mahal's influences and a taste of how blues and folk were influencing the mid-60s shift to psychedelia...", 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...These 22 rousing performances show the Rising Sons to be the missing link between Beatlemania and the late-'60s electric-blues explosion, an exciting, highly commercial proposition that missed stardom by just a hairbreath...", 4 Stars-Excellent-"...A Classic Début..."
