Sweetwater s/t album from 1968, a heady mix of Progressive and Psychedelic Rock.
They were the first band to play at Woodstock and the outstanding lead vocalist, Nancy Nevis, reminds me of Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane.
Sweetwater should have been really successful but unfortunately Nevis was badly injured in a car crash which prevented her from performing for close to 2 years, by which time the world had passed them by.
“San Francisco’s Shiver” recorded in 1972 by Shiver but not released until the year 2000. One of the best Psychedelic/Hard Rock bands of that era.
AMG says “Shiver played psychedelic rock like many other bands from San Francisco in the flower power era of the late 1960s/early 1970s, but what differentiated them was their shear raw energy, making these acid rockers equally at home with the Haight hippy set and greasy redneck bikers. This album, recorded on a two-track recorder in 1972 with no overdubs, captures acid rock in its heyday, with crazed guitar solos, a wild rhythm section, and out-of-control screamed vocals.”
