I keep picking soundtracks from films I haven't seen. In this case from what I understand is a kind of cult movie about a Benzedrine high driver who's fleeing the police through a number of US states. Maybe I get a chance to watch it some day, but till then I will just hear this as a regular compilation. And I do get a lot of good music here, coming from a blend of soul, gospel, country and rock. A couple instrumental but most of the fourteen cuts with vocals. Even if from different sources it goes very well together and the audio is smashing all through, so very good to both mind and ears. As an old Mountain fan I do appreciate the inclusion of "Mississippi Queen", but also Jimmy Walker's soul number "Where Do We Go From Here" and the gospelish "You Got To Believe" by Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. Though my absolut favourite here would be J.B. Pickers raw instrumental psych rocker "Freedom Of Expression" - both haunting and strangely attractive. So movie or not, this is to my taste a very good compilation that stands well on its own. Originally released on vinyl in US (Amos Records AAS 8002), Japan, Germany, France, South Africa, Brazil and Downunder. Japan 2009 issue on King Records (KIZB 66) came with all tracks on CD plus 2xDVD with versions of the movie. First UK had label as shown here in a laminated cover with "blue box" stereo inner.
