Another forgotten album in much the same style is Wayne Talbert's Houston Nickel Kicks (Mercury). Before cutting this record, Talbert, who looks like a fat, freaky ex-Marine, played piano for Mother Earth and the Sir Douglas Quintet, worked with Dr. John the Night Tripper, did the arrangements for Jimmy Cotton's best album ( Cut You Loose ), made two mediocre solo albums, and wrote a song entitled "Schizophrenic Susan Minnick," all of which should entitle him to some small fame, surely. This, his latest album, was a blatant attempt to get Talbert a hit single, which attempt, unfortunately, failed...
...optation," came the onslaught of hard drugs. In the wake of the Government's Operation Intercept, which slowed the flow of marijuana out of Mexico, grass became expensive and hard to get.

These men are saying something eternal, something tragic, something joyful, something real...
...deal with high level revelation, mysticism, telepathy, and transcendence of the ego. The LSD experience should not be confused with, for example, the stream-of-consciousness way of representing the way we experience the regular world. It would be confusing to call, let's say, James Joyce an acid tripper...
