Album US 1992 on Columbia label
Blues (Blues Rock, Folk Rock, Delta Blues)
Apart from 2 tracks off the band's Columbia single from the 60's, the recording of the works on this CD remained in the label's vaults until this 1992 release. The last track is a Mono recording. Rising Sons were a four-piece band and, technically, Cooder & Mahal don't really 'feature' as they were members from inception to disbanding in '66.
