Paul Cotton (g, vo), who sadly passed away in August of this year, formed this band with Cal David (b/ later The Fabulous Rhinestones) and others before joining Poco. Produced by James William Garcio, the band debuted at the same time as Chicago Transit Authority (later Chicago), also produced by Garcio. Reflecting the contrasting styles of the two core members, the band's unique blend of psychedelic, heavy blues rock and country-rock elements is still distinctly the group's own, with the atmosphere of a chaotic era.
