Blending acid rock, acoustic folk, cosmic Americana, and soaring Hendrixian guitar solos, the album stands as one of the most inventive and eclectic psychedelic rock concept albums of the mid-1970s. Includes standout originals like "Lady of the Lakes," "Victim of Society," and "Urantia," alongside stunning psychedelic reinterpretations of "Like a Rolling Stone," "Hey Joe," and "The Times They Are A-Changing."
