Shakedown Street
A funk-laden but more laid-back, groovier vibe marks this excellent entry from Chicago. Notable for A+ vocals & harmonies and Bobby shines in end jam!
7
Samson and Delilah
Possibly best-ever of the Brent era. Bob preaches fire & brimstone and Jerry shreds the living daylights out of every jam. Serious MUST listen version
8
He's Gone
Bob says before they begin it won't stay slow forever, he was not lying! A nice mellow tune that picks up lots of speed and BOOMS into the other one!

Alabama Getaway
Come for the 'Bama but stay for the rest of the show. This rocker 'Bama is Jerry and Brent at their very best. This entire show, tho', is a monster.

Black Peter
Ethereal rendition, mellow, dark, loose, and cool vibes emanate from one of the best Black Peters of the year
