Hartman Recommends:
Although most of their material is currently unavailable on
CD, "Archive
Alive!" (recorded in 1973 during their peak) is a great
set and contains a lot of memorable tunes. In fact, it leaves
me wishing that this had been a 2-CD set instead of a single.
If you remember "One Toke Over the Line" with fondness and like
their vocal harmonies, you really ought to pick this up.
