Title: Hate to say it, but this is disappointing
Review: I bought this to hear the pre-Mahavishnu Jerry Goodman. I like late 1960s rock, especially psychedelic and progressive. So I was all set to love this one. The material is so weak that I could not enjoy it. The singing and lyrics are mediocre, but beyond that, the songs themselves are so poor. The elements are there for interesting music, especially the mix of Goodman with the horns, which was innovative at that time, but the songs are just so disappointing. The Kinks cover leaves me cold--it is overarranged, overwrought, just too over the top for me, and not sung very well. I try to give all honestly performed music the benefit of the doubt, but I really cannot recommend this one.
