Active compensatory factors: Reading an obit in Mojo Magazine for Jesse Colin Young (he passed away in March 2025) prompted me to search out this album after it was mentioned as a peak moment.

The Youngbloods by 1969, and this album, were down to a trio of Young, Lowell (Banana) Levinger (keyboards, guitar) and Joe Bauer on drums.
It's a pretty relaxed album with Jesse's great vocals giving the songs warmth and cohesion. However, it's the instrumentals that I tend to like the most. They are interspersed throughout the album to good effect.
Where do they all belong? The band had that big hippy hit with Get Together in 1967. Jesse would move on to have a solo career after The Youngbloods.
