___________________________________________________

Electric Flag - An American Music Band (1968)
Nick Gravenites (vocals, guitar)
Buddy Miles (vocals, drums)
Mike Bloomfield (guitar)
Barry Goldberg (keyboards)
With guitarist Hoshal Wright replacing founding member Mike Bloomfield (formerly of
Paul Butterfield Blues Band) and Herbie Rich taking full control of the organ
(from another ex-Paul Butterfield member Barry Goldberg, along with future Lou Reed
keyboardist Mike Fonfara), you have a definite sequel to the Electric Flag's March
1968 debut LP, A Long Time Comin' appearing right on its heels, in December of that
same year.
The original album had An American Music Band under the group's name, and that slogan
becomes the subtitle of this follow-up.
Janis Joplin songwriter Nick Gravenites takes the hook out of Barry Goldberg's Sittin'
in Circles and reinvents it for Hey, Little Girl on this installment.
Where 60 percent of the first album was written by the Paul Butterfield exiles Bloomfield
and Goldberg, the songwriting is pretty evenly split between the two songs each by
Buddy Miles, Harvey Brooks, and Nick Gravenites, with Brooks and Gravenites co-writing an
additional title, Nothing to Do. This makes for a heavier blues recording, co-produced by
Brooks and Cheap Thrills album producer John Simon, who doubles on piano here (which he
played on Janis Joplin's Turtle Blues on the aforementioned Big Brother & the Holding
Company disc).
The big revelations, though, are the cover songs, Dr. John's Qualified and an unbelievable
version of Bobby Hebb's Sunny, which Buddy Miles just encompasses and devours.
The blending of styles is intuitive, as Hebb and Mac Rebennack/Dr. John had worked together
on their own.
Virgil Gonsalves' flute at the end of Sunny is frosting on the cake, but the key is that a
song which was a smash on three formats -- R&B, country, and pop charts, and captured the
heart of jazz musicians from Ella Fitzgerald to Pat Martino, gets this total reinvention here.
As brilliant as Nick Gravenites is as a songwriter, it is Hebb's tune which is the centerpiece
of this disc, that Sony would take it and Buddy Miles' Mystery for the CD release of the first
album is the real mystery.
Alto sax player Stemsy Hunter is wonderful on lead vocals for With Time There Is Change, written
by co-producer/bassist Harvey Brooks and perhaps the most captivating original here.
They all trade lead vocalist duties, from Nick Gravenites on Nothing to Do to Herbie Rich on the
Dr. John cover.
It's an amazingly dense set of recordings which, years later, form a remarkable thread of sounds
by musicians who worked with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the latter day Big Brother & the Holding
Company, and who were taking the original concept a step further into uncharted waters.
Where the Electric Prunes were a fun psychedelic moment, the neon signs superimposed over Buddy
Miles' face didn't get the same immediate recognition.
Many of the core players from both discs reunited in 1974 for the Atlantic records release The
Band Kept Playing. Real textbook material here, highly enjoyable, and very important.
