The non-LP single "Scene Through the Eye of a Lens" b/w "Gypsy Woman" not withstanding, (1968) is the debut full-length release from the earliest incarnation of , featuring (harmonica/tenor sax/vocals), (violin/ cello/bass guitar/vocals), (percussion/drums), (guitar/pedal steel guitar/keyboards), and (harmonica/keyboards/soprano sax/tenor sax/vocals). Their highly original sound has often been compared to , which may be in part due to the production skills of and , the latter also contributing the organic and rootsy rocker "Never Like This."

's deceptively involved arrangements are coupled with an equally unique blend of 's commanding vocals driving through the jazz and folk-rooted tunes. "The Chase" is a spirited opener that immediately establishes their unmistakable vibe, which is furthered on the sides "Old Songs for New Songs" and the aggressive rocker "Peace of Mind."
