This was my first intro to the Holy Modal Rounders (HMR) clan, and I agree with the other reviewers that this is a classic (the best bi-centennial release!)- it also is more polished and less subtle than other HMR recordings, as the "lone dissenter" so articulately explains. Yet I like this collection for that polish and variety. It's almost like a greatest hits of the HMRs, Michael Hurley and Jeffrey Fredericks.
