#1313 The Chambers Brothers - The Time Has Come

This incredible record was sitting at the bottom of the rock and roll family tree when it got unceremoniously yanked skyward, hitting every branch on the way up, bending back blues, gospel, hillbilly music and R&B, singing up with soul, disappearing into the psychedelic vortex that is that bonkers 11-minute near-title-track.

The singing runs 3+ deep and hits every note just so, with plenty of rollicking bop and deep feeling heart along the way, a thrill for any fan of rock history that wants to see all its ancestors woven together and thrust into the 60's in full bloom 4.5/5
