Oh wow man ! This is a hippie delicacy (from the musical`Hair') all the way from the dawning of the age of Aquarius, but Julie dosen't care about all that bullshit, she just wants to sing, and my god does she belt it out on this one. Although The Trinity are much better known for their absolutely fabulous interpretation of Dylan's `This Wheels On Fire', this one's right up there with it.
Brian Auger is as groovy on the Hammond as it's possible to be, the band is in the pocket, but the song belongs squarely to Julie Driscoll who attacks it with all the fearlessness of a lady who cut her vocal teeth alongside Rod Stewart and gave no quarter. "So for Timothy Leary...." at 1.45 kills me every time.
Driscoll became Tippetts, and turned her back on all the `Face of '68' nonsense she was saddled with by the Pop press to sing free jazz with her pianist husband Keith. They're still doing it, and they're still together. Isn't that great ?
