Description
Artist: 'The Elders' Album: 'Looking For The Answer'
Label: Original US Audio Fidelity (AFSD 6247)
Record Condition: EX- Year: 1971
Sleeve EX- Notes: Seldom seen killer Psych, Rock, Soul, Funk LP out of Dayton, Ohio. The group where originally known as 'Jerry And The Others'. In 1966 they recorded one song on the 'Dayton Scene' LP, 'Don't You Lie To Me', that has gained collector fame as one of the great teen garage numbers from the area. They became 'The Elders' in 1970, along the way picking up 'Ron Skinner' who previously played with 'The Pictorian Skiffuls'. In 1971 they issued their sole album, 'Looking For The Answer'. Despite what has been written (no flowery psych here), musically their sound is a style of funky rock with influences of Sly & The Family Stone, James Gang, The Young Rascals, Wilson Pickett, and The Meters (whom the cover here, Sissy Strut), highlighted with a combination of driving guitar and (to a lesser extent) organ. Four out of the ten tracks are covers (Sissy Strut / Hip Hugger / 25 Miles) and the originals are decent. Driving guitars, organ & drums plus great vocalist etc... Members: Jerry Behring, Roc Budlingy, Ron Skinner, and Pat Smith.
