Rare Earth - Ecology (1970)

Rare Earth - Ecology

"Ecology" was the third album released by Detroit based funk soul psych band Rare Earth.   Ecology is a fantastic album with some great tracks somewhere in the soul-psych genre.  This album features a couple of outstanding tracks ........."Nice Place To Visit" with its catchy rock grooves and guitar unleashings and the hard-hitting, rocking rendition of the Temptations' "I Know I'm Losing You," .  This song is stretched out to 11 mins and is simply an amazing version with its acid-drenched oil lamp vibes!    

   And like so many albums and artists these guys play an ode to those Beatles with a cool version of 
"Eleanor Rigby".     

  The whole album is just excellent and comes with my highest endorsement as an absolutely essential album!
