5.0 out of 5 stars Elephant Mountain, February 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Elephant Mountain (Audio CD)

If you don't have this album buy it immediately! It has got to be the most eclectic album of it's day. It was defintely ahead of it's time. It has some jazz, blues, country, rock, and celtic influences, not to mention Jesse's exquisite voice. Music of the 60's at it's best but not outdated. Thoroughly enjoyable with today's standards. Get one for your best friend..no one should miss out on this outstanding music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elephant Mountain, December 4, 2001

Probably one of the best rock albums of the 60s. Provides great listening music for any activity. While many remember the Youngbloods for "Get Together", Elephant mountain goes far beyond the comercial hit which receives so much air time. Those of us that remember the real sixties can relate to listening to songs like "quick sand" and "ride the wind" and the memories produced by this album. I can remember passing this record back and forth amoung friends, all who treasured it. If you like Jessie Collin Young and the Young Bloods, you will find this to be their best work.

5.0 out of 5 stars the most underrated US rock album, ever, November 29, 2001

I have never understood the neglect that greeted this late Sixties masterpiece, one of my very favorites since it first came out. Maybe they had trouble duplicating the sound in concert (with the loss of Jerry Corbitt they were down to a trio, and some of the tracks here include a very rocking full orchestra.) Maybe the sound that the band and producer Charles E. Daniels (yes, ole Charlie Daniels!) laid down was just too complex for the average listener. There's rock, jazz, blues, bossa nova, C&W...sometimes all in the same long cut! Just give it a try. Years ago, I played it while a musician friend was present and he stood there with his jaw dropped until he exclaimed, "Who IS that!?" It's the Youngbloods. Check it out.
