Great Covers, Great Vocals, Great Fun
"

The vocals and harmonies are as strong as ever, and the band turns in a few tremendous originals, including the closer "Light Shine," which is a nice bookend to their early hit "Get Together. This, the second to last release by this underrated band, has the boys groovin' and playing their way through a fine list of covers, from "Stagger Lee" to Otis Redding's "That's How Strong My Love Is" to the traditional "Will the Circle Be Unbroken. " Their cover of "Hand Jive" is one of the better versions of this song. If you like good-time, hanging on the porch, traveling music, you are in the right place.


Youngbloods Second To Last Effort
Here they demonstrate their ability to tackle traditional country/gospel, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", Chicago Blues, "Drifting And Drifting" and "Pontiac Blues", jugband "I'm A Hog For You Baby" and "Willie & The Hand Jive". Good & Dusty was the second to last effort by this California based group, (Orginally a folk/jugband that kicked around NYC's Greenwich Village). They even manage to work in a little Memphis Soul, with a heartfelt rendering of the Otis Redding classic "That's How Strong My Love Is". And finally they round it out with a handful of orginals "Light Shine, "Good & Dusty" and their Merle Haggard sendup "Hippie From Olema #5". All in all a delightful set that marks a highpoint for a very underated 60's-70's combo. Perhaps this should have been their swan song. Unfortunately their last studio recording High On A Ridge Top, featured far less quality material, the likes of La Bamba and Running Bear. With it The Youngbloods went out with a Wimper, not a bang.
