Better than I expected February 12, 2007

I used to have Steppenwolf compilation on Vinyl - not this one - but it got mislaid somewhere. Didn't miss it too much. I was always disappointed that they mimed on "The Whistle Test", this was a vehicle for great live bands and they were supposed to be one of them. It left me feeling they were fakes but I recently caught John Kay & a reformed Steppenwolf doing a real live set and it was excellent. Made me look for a 'best of' again.
This compilation seemed to include most of the good stuff I had on the vinyl (although I'd hoped to get "Snowblind Friend" again - a sad omission) and a few other things I hadn't heard. It works well, nothing too exceptional but a good chunk of American nostalgia. The Pusher & Magic Carpet Ride have always been great tracks but the rest are solid rock performances with some great complimentary guitar work.

I really like this album, the last track pusher is my favourite.
If you ever get the chance give this album a listen, there is alot more to steppenwolf then "Born to be Wild" and its a shame because people assume their stuff is all cheesy rock just off the back of Born to be wild and carpet ride. Which is weird because most of their tracks are drug influenced and based, the lyrics are actually quite clever "He only had a dollar to live on till next monday, but he spent it all on comfort for his mind, some say hes going blind" "Flying low, dying slow".
I like it, it almost makes me smile that no one else seems to recognise this album for the gem that it is.
