American Blues - Is Here (1968)

American Blues - Is Here (1968)

Akarma CD reissue of the first album by this pre ZZ Top Texas psych band released in 1968. lt includes the infamous lunched out version of "If I Were A Carpenter" (from Endless Journey) as well as other gems such as "Melted Like Snow" Stunning rough edged acid blues psych with stoned guitar breaks and high volume mayhem that alternates with melodic, mellow trippyness. Essential stuff. Housed in a mini-gatefold LP sleeve.…
