In the beginning...
there were the Mother Hips, long-haired rockers from Chico, CA. This is the one that started it all and it rocks from start to finish. This set the standard from one of America's best kept secrets---killer songwriting, unbelievable harmonies, and biting guitar work---with a hint of psychedelic abandon (but no needless jamming). Tracks of note include Hey Emilie, Two Young Queens, Stephanie's for LA, and Hot Lunch.
