Info for Happy Trails

Possibly the best live album to come out of psychedelic San Francisco, with epic re-workings of Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love and Mona. John Cipollina rules! If the quintessential San Francisco Sound is defined by lengthy improvised guitar-work and near-telepathic interplay, then „Happy Trails“ crystallizes the genre on record. Extemporizing mightily two Bo Diddley songs ('Who Do You Love' and 'Mona,' the quartet introduces new realms of expression to rock music.

Guitarists John Cipollina and Gary Duncan offer contrasting textures and sound, goading each other to greater heights. Largely recorded live in concert, „Happy Trails“ encapsulates an era of experimentation, employing images that embodied the outlaw chic of the hippie subculture. Its strengths are not, however, bound to that era; the album's mesmerizing power remains as true as ever. The George Hunter cover painting is also indispensable.

'...It begins with an entire side dedictated to Bo Diddley's `Who Do You Love,' superbly recorded at the Fillmores East and West...a beautiful example of the kind of communication rock'n'roll is all about...' (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone)
