Kingfish

Love the album.

Great album ! Awesome record art work !

Great cover of Marty Robbin's Big Iron. About a 70/30 good stuff to filler ratio. If you like the Grateful Dead's studio output from 73-79, you can dig this. Just don't expect Dick's Picks or Live Dead, cos if that's the only Dead stuff you like, you might be a little dissappointed.

Kingfish was a nice band. The songs on this album are easy and fun to listen to. I especially enjoyed listening to them on the Keeseville-Otisville Road.

it's been a long time- and still kickin' out jams

They had Bob Weir, Matthew Kelley, Robbie Hodinot (hope I spelled that right) and many, many talented musicians. I saw them in the early 80's at a small club in Syracuse, New York. To put it bluntly, they brought the house down. Half the people had not even heard of them. I had this album when it first came out, and then Trident(...).This was a brilliant studio album, and if you have an above average stereo to play it on (the last reviewer probably didn't) you can hear all the nuisances associated with a great production.They were one of my top bands from the mid 70's on, and to THIS day I am still addicted to this CD. It is one of my all time favorite COOL sounding CD's. Ahead of it's time. Hypnotize is pure genius. Get it, you will not be sorry.

even though the band named Kingfish copied some songs that were allready out their they put more sparkle and life into them then the original artist.The band had several musician`s come and go during a life span that (I hope is not over yet).One of the more famous being Bob Weir of the Greatful Dead,who was only in a few albums,but a good ear can pick him out even if they never heard of Kingfish.I guess my favorite album that I still have stashed away is the Trident album,it`s been a while since i have seen or heard it, if I am getting LP album names mixed up I am sorry but it is the only one that was not put on cd format that i know of.It has a song on it called (hurricane)and after living in FL.I sure miss it.If you want to hear good music get your hands on any Kingfish albume you will not be disapointed no matter what your age is.James Gezelman

At a time of introspective change and a pause in the touring schedule for the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir combines his talent with songwriter John Barlow to make sure "the music never stops." Previously out of print, Kingfish provides the familiar Bay Area country rock sound that personifies the "70's Dead." Finally, Kingfish can be enjoyed once again!
