St. John Green consisted of Ed Bissot (bass-vocals), Vic Sabino (harmonica-vocals), Bill Kirkland (guitar), Mike Baxter (organ-vocals), and Shel Scott (drums). St John Green, as the back cover of this album explains, were part of the "Canyon scene," a loose association of musicians and hippies based in and around Topanga Canyon in California in the late 60s. Spirit, featuring Randy California and Ed Cassidy, were the best known Canyon group. Although too patchy to be considered a "classic", this album by St John Green is a genuinely interesting period piece nevertheless, and it does include a handful of good songs. 01 - 7Th Generation Mutation 02 - Canyon Women 03 - Devil And The Sea 04 - Do You Believe 05 - Help Me Close The Door 06 - Messages From The Dead 07 - Goddess Of Death 08 - St. John Green 09 - Spirit Of Now 10 - Love Of Hate 11 - One Room Cemetary 12 - Shivers Of Pleasure LINK
