“This band is totally anonymous other than having Frank Davis as a member. Davis was an associate of the Texas band Fever Tree, and wrote the two-minute blast “Grand Candy Young Sweet” for their second album. Though much less well known, this LP is better than any of the four by Fever Tree.
The opening track, “What’s A Man” is more relevant today than it was then! A conversation between a father and his hawkish son (wasn’t it the other way around back then?), it has Iraq all over it: (“You can’t imagine what I’m thinking / We’ve got to fight them while they’re small / Or their disease will soon be spreading / And then we’ll never kill them all”). I don’t know what Ann Coulter was doing in ’68, but if that doesn’t sound like something straight out of her lunatic rantings, I don’t know what does!
There’s nothing else here that’s quite that powerful here, but the Beatlesque “Sorry You Were Born”, and the fuzz-laden “Cadillac George” are terrific on their own terms.
The group gets mystical, with mixed results. “Lonely Seabird” is spellbinding, but the extended, raga-like “That’s Good” is simply somnolent. The classical guitar framed “So Much Love”, and “You Will Be There” sound like renaissance madrigals. If anything, the group was adept at writing and performing an impressive variety of material.
There’s unrealized hit potential here. Both “She Understands”, and “Come To Me” are instantly catchy, if only someone had been around to catch them.
The album peters out with the closing track, “Old Man”, which lifts the guitar riff from “Peggy Sue”, but there’s still enough here to make me wish for a follow – up.”

Wow what a great lp. If I would known it existed I would have bought it. It has a Beatles psych feel to it. But still their own.
Thank you! This was superb! 💜
I listen to this album daily! I must find it on vinyl……
Excelente, inspirador.
Thanx! I need this right now.
good
Did Greenday base their sound on What's a man?
I was having a nice day and you had to go and mention Ann Coulter
Класс👏👏👏
I checked Discogs. This album unfortunately was never released in any format. However, there are original copies available at reasonable prices considering the rarity.

whoever designed that album cover is a pyscadelic genius because it looks pretty groovy normally but when you take some acid or some shit and stair at it the bird fuckin fly and than theres optical illusions that im pretty sure i didnt see when i was straight albums good as fuck to

Green Day took from this.
I really like the first two minutes of this album…;-)
👍
The Lonely Rocker digs this kinda music! great stuff!
Love this
Ann Coulter's "lunatic ramblings"? You sound like a bit of a lunatic yourself. Are you sure you are QUALIFIED to disparage others? Do you put down everyone with whom you disagree? HOW ENLIGHTENED!
Do you even know what she says, or are you just jumping on the bandwagon because you need to be part of the "in crowd"……..like a lemming???????
Beautiful!
Real music– sounds great!
There are two title tracks with the same name but are different songs? Puzzling.
This is an excellent find. Thanks!
2:18 smells like teen spirit
Прекрасная группа! I fell in love with these guys.
Ann kulture ye should be worrisome with little miss and misses leninthese daze mang
I want Lonely Seabird lyrics so much. I can make out a good 75% of them, but the remaining 25% evade me.
Now, I've heard of Travel Agency, but I'm not as fond of this album, until now. This really got my attention just at the start. Amazing album, wish I knew about it earlier!
Anyone have the lyrics for the Lonely Seabird song? This music is magic! ❤️🔥 I would like to sing it, but I can't find the lyrics anywhere. gratitude!
Great Album! Have 2 copies.
Old Man – Buddy Holly meets The Who!
Fantástico!!!!!
I think the album itself isn't that great, but the first two minutes are awesome. Reminds me of Watcher Of The Skies by Genesis.
MY GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC BROUGHT ME HERE🙏🏼
Спасибо автору за то,что познакомил с творчеством этой интересной группы. Отличная музыка из 60-х.
Cadillac George…naw man. This makes me wanna go Ernest Borgnine.
Intro guitar stollen by Nirvana…maybe thats why Cobein suicides!
