Still obscure and unappreciated, this sensational guitarist had a strong outing on this late-'60s release. Rhythmic, melodic, and even lyrical at times, his masterful playing is especially impressive compared to his ill-advised singing. But he's not deluding himself, and most of the tracks are instrumentals. The highlight is the fearsomely funky "The Jam with Albert."
Coryell later issued some wonderful acoustic albums, but this one is electric in a way many guitarists could not imagine, let alone realize. ~ Mark Allan
