"First, Nick the Greek Gravenites is not singing, this is quite obvious. Nor can I discern Michael Bloomfield nor Buddy Miles. There is one possible exception, which is the track "Groovin is Easy" and this is either an uncredited Nick Gravenites or someone doing a pretty good cover. None of my research disclosed that he had anything to do with this CD, and one would think that his name would appear on it, unless he was too embarrased to take credit for this abortion.



The CD is terrible quality, with drop outs on some sides, and poor volume and mixing. The engineer uses echo way too much and fades it in and out like he was having a real blast. Some tracks actually sound live, because the band makes some mistakes.



There are no liner notes to figure out who actually made this CD, or what garage it was recorded in.



I'd pass on this CD, and get "A Long Time Comin'" If you are real hungry for Michael Bloomfield, then pick up some Paul Butterfield Blues Band stuff or some of the Bloomfield-Gravenites compilations."
