Description:

Elephant Mountain, the magnetic third album by the Youngbloods, is commonly looked upon as the pinnacle of the legendary Bay Area comboâ??s abundant eight-year career. From its spine chilling opening trackâ??the strains of a somber Appalachian fiddle permeating â??Darkness, Darknessâ?â??the listener is inexorably sucked into psychedelic quicksand by the haunting vocals of Jesse Colin Young, whose plaintive cry to â??hide the constant yearning for things that cannot beâ? proves mournfully irresistible. In addition to Youngâ??s songwriting masterpiece, the 1969 album also spotlights a sharp, country-rocking vocal duet (â??Smugâ?) by Young and recently-departed singer Jerry Corbitt, as well as the jazzy interplay between electric keyboard whiz Banana and the locked-in groove of drummer Joe Bauer during magical instrumental â??On Sir Francis Drake.â? More songwriting gems loom like sacred totems on this landmark longplayer, including Youngâ??s signature ballads â??Sunlight,â? â??Quicksandâ? and â??Ride the Wind.â? Itâ??s the Youngbloods at the top of their game, indelibly writing their names in the ledger of consummate San Francisco rock â??nâ?? roll. - 180GR.

Hot off the success of their multi-platinum self-titled debut, The Youngbloods shuffled their lineup (with the departure of co-founder Jerry Corbitt) and used their heightened to go big on their follow up, the Charlie Daniels-produced Elephant Mountain. Over multi-layered acoustic-folk and electric-rock instruments, Jesse Colin Young, Banana Levinger, and Joe Bauer create a free-feeling set of tunes that playfully careen between front-porch folk and stadium rock (best exemplified in the classic single "Darkness, Darkness"). That this diverse set of musical influences remained cohesive and artistically daring makes it an underground classic whose admiration continues to grow today. Impex is proud to bring it to you in pristine all-analog glory!
