" JAMUL 1970 US heavy psych": A San Diego group formerly known as The Jamul City Funk Band. Jamul (pronounced 'Ha-Mool') is a city in eastern San Diego county. Armstrong was formerly with The Misfits, Desnoyers with Joel Scott Hill in The Friendly Grin, and Williams with Puzzle and The Voxmen. The Jamul City Funk Band was a trio until just a few months before recording, when Williams came aboard. This gave the band the distinct advantage of three lead singers trading off on individual tracks. The Jamul album has much to recommend it, particularly to fans of loud hard rock. Of the eleven tracks that make up the album, eight are original. There's also a brutal cover of Tobacco Road. Killer late '60s US heavy hippy rock album issued in 1970 with a down-and-wasted vibe. Great guitar throughout with a superb version of "Tobacco Road", plus loads of originals. The band were involved with Steppenwolf's management and the sound is similar to the early years of that band as well as other heavy acid rock bands such as Yesterday's Children and Frantic. Great album and worth checking out.
