This group, originally from
Ocala, Florida, is today minimally known for being the group in which he played
Don Felder, before joining the group of country rock Eagles, although here not
the same type of music. Felder on guitar, and Chuck Newcomb, on bass and
vocals, were responsible for composing the songs of the only record they came
to record. What we can hear here is, above all, a jazz rock, at times folk,
other passages, Latin rhythms, more than anything by percussions, which helped
in several good percussionists. In short is a jewel, has a quality, and that
is, as you go listening, several times, it becomes quite attractive, it hooks
you. In short, if you did not know it, and you are fond of this genre, you will
not be disappointed. ~ Miguel Campoviejo [translated from Spanish]
One of only five LPs released
in the CTI 1000 series while Creed Taylor was transitioning from A&M to
start his own label and one of few rock-oriented albums to be put out by the
label. It's also notable for being the project Don Felder left to join The
Eagles, for whom he would compose their biggest hit, "Hotel
California." Flow is a nice slice of jazzy, folky, West Coast style rock
with some rootsy touches, including a Leadbelly cover. It's quite a creeper and
grows on you after a few listens so definitely worth checking out if you're a
fan of the genre. ~ Cheeba.
