Bamboo - Bamboo 1969

A California group led by Dave Ray, who was previously part of the blues/folk trio Koerner, Ray, and Glover. Produced by Allan Emig and recorded on the Feather River in Keddle, California, their only album contains a mix of folk, blues, rock, and country highlighted by four excellent tracks: Girl Of The Seasons, Blak Bati Chari Blooz, Sok Mi Toot Tru Luv, all with inventive organ and guitar parts and Keep What Makes You Feel Nice, a progressive blues a la Butterfield Blues Band. All their material was original and the use of strange instruments (rock chord, Leslie guitar, tack piano) provide some unusual effects. As usual with Elektra, the sound quality is excellent. 

Dave Ray later released solo albums and Sanford "Sandy" Konikoff, who had previously played with Gentle Soul, became a session drummer, notably working with Leon Russell, Grinder's Switch, and Ben Sidran. Brendan Harkin later played in Papa Nebo, Free Beer, and Starz.
