Who would have thought a freaky combo like Raik’s Progress could be lurking in the sunbaked grape fields of Fresno, Calif? Drawing on wild and woolly influences as diverse as Capt. Beefheart, Them and the Animals, these San Joaquin Valley boys—helmed by Steven Krikorian, later to reinvent himself as hitmaking artist Tonio K—cut an album’s worth of material best described as jawdropping! Cryptically titled gems like "Sewer Rat Love Chant" and "Why Did You Rob Us, Tank?" have been gathering dust ever since...until SUNDAZED connected the dots and unearthed this brilliant ‘60s album!
