Digipack CD Spirit was one of the most exciting young American bands to enliven the late Sixties' rock scene. The exultant playing of teenaged lead guitarist and former Hendrix protege Randy California sparked a group that was also powered up by the drumming of Randy's stepfather Ed 'Mr.Skin' Cassidy.
It was a fascinating set up that aroused much public interest at the time and was celebrated by the title of their second album, 'The Family That Plays Together'. First released in 1969, it proved hugely popular around the world, particularly in Germany and England.
The album also spawned their debut hit single 'I Got A Line On You'. The song is among 11 tracks featured on this highly welcome CD re-issue. Singer Jay Ferguson wrote much of the material, although keyboard player John Locke contributes lyrics to the five bonus tracks.
A classic album full of fresh ideas and dynamic energy.
