...original six-man ensemble that brought us early standards like "Evil Ways" and "Black Magic Woman." The changes have not made a big difference in the group's sound from a strictly technical standpoint, with one notable exception. Some of the keyboard and synthesizer work performed by Tom Coster on Festival completely eclipses any of the solos rapped out by his predecessor on the ivories, Gregg Rolie.

There is "no question" that the art work is that of the former New Yorker writer and cartoonist. Says Helen Thurber, the humorist's widow...
FOLK FESTIVAL--Peter Johnson's roster this week is impressive: Coster, Welling, and Wollack, an old-time string band with a prize-winning fiddler; John Kolstad, a bluesman who traces his roots to Robert Johnson; and Mike Turk, reportedly a fine harmonica man. --P.M.S...
