Bruce Palmer - The Cycle Is Complete 1971
Here is a great psychedelic jam record. Bruce Palmer was the first bass player for Buffalo Springfield. He came done from Canada with Neil Young. Unfortunately, he had to leave early on due to pot busts of all things. And by the sound of this album those busts did not stop the smoke from going in, because it sure came out on this record. The Cycle Is Complete is his first and only solo album. It is primarily an instrumental trip. There is some scattered singing by the percussionist Rick Matthews, who was later known as the crack smoken' Rick James. The music has lentght, but many instruments to keep things interesting. Violin, organ, flute, oboe, organ, piano just to name a few. And all this is blended into a jazzy, blues, folk, rock mind meld. So, roll one up, and kick it back to this masterpiece.
