"The first ever release by Devil's Kitchen, perhaps the best of the greatly talented but 'forgotten' bands from the legendary San Francisco psychedelic scene of the late 1960′s. Devil's Kitchen played all the major venues in the Bay Area and Los Angeles during this time period, opening for and playing frequently with many very well-known bands, including The Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Santana, Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Allman Brothers, Big Brother And The Holding Company with Janis, The Charlatans and many, many others.
The band spurned a recording contract offer from Mercury Records in 1968, displeased with the lack of creative control offered them by the label. Consequently, they never released any recordings.
There are eight original unreleased tracks on this album and all were taken from the original master tapes that were recorded in 1969 at the Family Dog Ballroom on The Great Highway in San Francisco and the Sierra Sound Recording Studio in Berkeley.
The music has a great and unmistakable late 60′s acid-drenched West Coast guitar-driven blues-psych sound with snaky electric slide and roaring fuzz guitar throughout.
The discovery of these master tapes and this subsequent release of Devil's Kitchen's first full length album, more than forty years after the recordings were made, is an exciting find for the collectors of obscure 60's psychedelia. How a great band like this remained under the radar and unreleased for all these years is mystifying. Welcome again to the great San Francisco sound of the late 1960s.

Devil's Kitchen (a.k.a. Devil's Kitchen Band) was a four piece rock and roll band that lived and performed in San Francisco from the Spring of 1968 through the Summer of 1970. They were the "house band" at Chet Helm's "Family Dog Ballroom on the Great Highway" opening for, and often jamming with, many of the most well known groups of the times. They performed at all of the major West Coast venues from San Francisco's Fillmore West to L.A.'s Whisky A Go Go. 1 - City 2 - Farm Bust Blues 3 - Earthfields 4 - (You've Got Your) Head On Right 5 - Dust My Blues 6 - Cookin' 7 - Mellow Pot Blues 8 - Mourning Glory
