If you know and love the popular self-titled Seatrain album of 1970 (not to be confused with the self-titled Seatrain album of 1969 which is, IMO, inferior in many ways) then you must have this. Tragically though, the CD is currently unavailable from anywhere. I think it is the equal of the aforementioned album in every way. Those who loved Song of Job, 13 Questions, etc... will LOVE Northcoast, and my personal favorite, and only instrumental track on the album, Flute Thing. This album is a must have for that track alone.

You wouldn't have read this far if you weren't into the Jazz/Rock/Bluegrass/Blues fusion sound that was inventing itself in the 60s and 70s. This album is an integral part of that history and needs to be available today. I own it on vinyl and periodically record it to tape. I have worn out three such tapes already. Peace through Music...

I have just finished listening to the entire album again, too many times to count. My LP has so many scratches and nicks that I cannot wait to pick up the newly released CD version of this great album. I had the opportunity to speak with Andy Kulberg a few years ago. We talked about "Watch" and his fantastic version of "Flute Thing." Interesting enough, Andy never had the music for this song written. He promised to write down the music and, a week later, he faxed it to my attention from California. Even with Richard Greene and Peter Rowan gone, Andy manages to create another fusion masterpiece. I really enjoy "Pack of Fools" and "Watching the River Flow" which is a cover of Bob Dylan's hit. This album is a great addition to any collector of music from this era. Seatrain lives on!
