The Youngbloods - 1969 - Elephant Mountain
The Youngbloods was an American folk rock band consisting of Jesse Colin Young (vocals, bass), Jerry Corbitt (guitar), Lowell Levinger, nicknamed "Banana," (guitar and electric piano), and Joe Bauer (drums). Despite receiving critical acclaim, they never achieved widespread popularity. Their only U.S. Top 40 entry was "Get Together". With Corbitt's departure from the band (for a solo career) in 1969, before the band recorded the Elephant Mountain album, Levinger assumed lead guitar duties and played extensively on Wurlitzer electric piano. The band became adept at lengthy improvisations in their live performances (as captured on the albums Rock Festival and Ride the Wind released after the band moved over to their own Warner Brothers distributed Raccoon label). Jesse Colin Young - vocals, guitar, bass, Joe Bauer - drums, Lowell "Banana" Levinger - guitar, Wurlitzer electric piano, Jerry Corbitt - guitar, plus David Lindley - fiddle, Plas Johnson - tenor saxophone, Joe Clayton - trumpet, and Victor Feldman - vibraphone. 01 - Darkness, Darkness 02 - Smug 03 - On Sir Francis Drake 04 - Sunlight 05 - Double Sunlight 06 - Beautiful 07 - Turn It Over 08 - Rain Song (Don't Let The Rain Bring You Down) 09 - Trillium 10 - Quicksand 11 - Black Mountain Breakdown 12 - Sham 13 - Ride The Wind LINK
