PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC - Are You Ready? (Sealed) (CD)

The 1970’s LP Are You Ready? was released at the end of the Flower Power era. Their masterpiece is their sole gospel-funk-psychedelia hit, ‘Are You Ready?’ which is to this day a song that most casual rock fans remember. Some of the other songs are closer to average period blues-rock workouts, like ‘Miss Lucy’ and the live cover of John Lee Hooker’s ‘She’s Long and She’s Tall,’ though the group original ‘My Women’ finds them getting into a slow blues-funk groove with graceful style. The four-part, 17-minute ‘PG&E Suite’ is typical of the highs and lows of many such psychedelic rock experiments of the late ’60s. With their classic hit ‘Are You Ready?’ the album is a true psychedelic monument.
