Think it's time for a roll call?

[CousinLarry]

motherlode on buddah is kinda cool.

i dont know which motherlode album youre talking about (there were two in the US, and possibly more in Canada, where they were from), but the one i have (When I Die, ca. 1969) is a masterpiece of interracial rock-soul, with funk and rock both sharing the load

and it's not just about the drum break...

"when i die," the title track of that album i mentioned up there, was a Top 20 hit in America and needs to be discussed next time somebody starts a "sweet soul" thread

I looped it on a demo back in '93.

Peace,

I picked this up a few weeks ago and was not feeling it. I will give it another chance I guess, but it thought it was kind of boring.

I'm with Larry on this. The title track is nice and certainly has sampling longevity, but on the listening tip the LP never rated in my book.
