The Electric Flag - The Band Kept Playing (1974 us, blues rock vibes, 2002 edition)



In 1974 the original Electric Flag members reunited for one album on Atlantic Records. The Band Kept Playing was their last album, and contains some of the best music ever recorded by the Electric Flag. "Every Now and Then" ranks among the best songs Buddy Miles ever wrote, and Grevenite's "Earthquake Country" is a classic piece of early‘70s soul-rock and the standout boogie "Doctor Oh Doctor (Massive Infusion), also penned by Gravenites, also most of the other material is well-played.
