Not many people have heard of Lee Michaels. However, he is a very talented musician. In a way, he is like Todd Rundgren. His piano playing is great. In this album, he puts in a few funky rhythms, which really get things moving. "Mad Dog" is a classic. It's solid. If you like piano, or the hammond organ, or just classic rock, you'll like Lee Michaels. I definately recommend this album as well as Fifth. In that album, his most played song, "Do you know what I mean," is on it. Buy it. You can't go wrong. Oh yea, it's cheap too. So what the hell, get it. It's top knotch.

First came out when I was in my early 20's - loved it then and it sure floods back with memories hearing it. It's a bit dated (70's) and What Now America was a song about the disgust the young people felt about the Vietnam war. I always loved Ummm my Lady.

What a great find on Amazon!

This is a classic "60's hippy record (even though it released in early 1970). I have vivid memories of my older bro bringing this one home & spinning it nonstop until each line of every song was permanently etched in me. I searched & searched for a reasonably priced copy unsuccesfully long after the grooves wore out on the copy I bought back in the mid-70's.... I finally brokedown & downloaded it from Amazon digitally. I still have my old worn out LP cover & vinyl disk, so it's almost the same.
For those that are familiar with Lee's hits and are curious for more, this is in my opinion the pinnacle of his career & should not be missed out on. When you listen to songs like "What Now America" and the stories it tells... I can almost feel my (long gone) freak flag flying 1 more time.
Thanks Lee, for your soulful rants that hark back to a time when our voices unified us together with purpose. You were one of the unsung heroes of the American youth movement during our renaissance that changed the world forever.
