Authors of two albums published in 1970, the Texas based Josefus are the quintessence of hard psych "Made in the USA"—a gritty sound featuring prominent guitar and a solid and agile rhythmic base. This second album by Josefus, released a year after their debut, confirms their place as one of the most interesting and underestimated bands of the era. Largely influenced by early Zeppelin and British blues, Josefus deftly brought late sixties hard rock into the 70s, anticipating sounds that would later become synonymous with bands like ZZ Top and giving birth to a genre that would eventually give way to heavy metal. This reissue also features 6 bonus tracks. "Country Boy" and "Crazy Man" were taken from a rare 1969 single, "I Love You", comes from their very first session when the band was still know as "United Gas", and three tracks recorded live in 1969 at Houston's Love Street Light Circus.
