モビー・グレイプ~タートルズ~キャンドヒートなどで活躍することになるリー・マイケルズが残した1968年ファーストソロ作。持ち味であるソウルフルな歌唱と、レイト60’Sな西海岸サウンドが合致した作品でサイケ好きには勿論、バーズ~バッファロー・スプリングフィールドにも通じる偏差値高めのサウンドは西海岸ロックのミッシング・リンクとして広く聴かれるべきでしょう。また、制作にやはり西海岸産の内向的サイケデリア傑作として知られる「A GIFT FROM EUPHORIA」を残すEUPHORIAのメンバーであるHAMILTON WESLEY WATTSが関わっている点も注目。
Original release1968
Re-issue 2010 FLAWED GEMS
Michaels began his career with The Sentinals, a San Luis-based surf group that included drummer Johny Barbata, later of The Turtles, Jefferson Airplane, and Jefferson Starship. Michaels joined Barbata in the Strangers, a group led by Joel Scott Hill, before moving to San Francisco. There he joined an early version of The Family Tree, a band led by Bob Segarini. In 1967, he signed a contract with A&M Records, releasing his debut, Carnival Of Life, later that year. As a session musician, he played with Jimi Hendrix, among others.
Michaels' choice of the Hammond organ as his primary instrument was unusual for the time, as was his bare-bones stage and studio accompaniment: usually just a single drummer, most often a musician known as "Frosty" (Bartholomew Eugene Smith-Frost) member of Sweathog (band) or with Joel Larson of The Grass Roots. This unorthodox approach attracted a following in San Francisco, and some critical notice, but Michaels did not achieve real commercial success until the release of his fifth album (Fifth), which produced a surprise U.S. Top 10 hit (#6 in the fall of 1971), "Do You Know What I Mean," and a Top 40 follow-up, a cover version of the Motown standard, "Can I Get A Witness". Michaels recorded two more albums for A&M before signing a contract with Columbia Records in 1973. His Columbia recordings failed to generate much interest, and Michaels went into semi-retirement from the music business by the end of the decade, which was also influenced by his severe hearing loss.
