Peter Kaukonen Black Kangaroo (Vinyl, Grunt Records, 1972) ***
Genre: rock; Grunt Records
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: What We All Know And Love
Gear costume: Prisoner
Active compensatory factors: I bought this back in the seventies because of his association with Jefferson Airplane and their satellites (the album is on their Grunt label), and of course - he's Jorma's younger brother (born Benson Kaukonen).

At times, there is a cosmic Hendrix-y vibe going on in Peter's guitar style, at other times he sounds like he's channeling Johnny Winter.
Joey Covington appears on drums and this album is very much in simpatico with Covington's own record on Grunt.
The Hot Tuna/ Jorma Kaukonen influence isn't too obvious, maybe only on Barking Dog Blues and Prisoner.
Where do they all belong? In the Grunt Records section.
