here's the review from Joynson's psych reference
"Fuzz, Acid & Flowers":
By 1970 they had evolved into a five-piece, commune based band.
The LP comes in a gatefold of pastoral serenity. Pasted-in leaves
of photos and lyrics fail to give details of the band personnel and
instrumentation, other than writer credits. Very laid-back and with
pleasing harmonies, this is uplifting soft rock that incorporates boogie,
folk and country influences. Likely to be labelled "hippie-rock" but that's
not to denigrate it - it doesn't ramble and the varied selection shows that
they can rock. The mood is of a summer evening relaxing on the porch,
a drink in one hand, a smoke in the other, and a euphoric grin.
Suddenly, getting "back to the country" has immense appeal!
