The Coachmen (Sea-Ell, 1968, Lovington, NM) “New Mexico-based band signed to C. L. Milburn's Sea Ell Records label in the middle-late 1960's. They had a good, heavy attack on rhythm guitar and a lead player who was skilled in a multitude of idioms, equally good at droning fuzztone guitar ("Grapes of Wrath" or crunchy folk-rock ("Summer Should Bring Happiness"), and their drummer kept things moving aggressively. Their one and only Sea Ell single sold locally in Texas.” ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
