The mighty SERPENT POWER, the San Francisco band, was fronted by poet David Meltzer who formed the band with his wife Tina in 1966. Ed Denton then manager of Country Joe And The Fish was rightly knocked-out and recommended them to Vanguard after hearing their first gig, a benefit for the Telegraph Group Neighbourhood Centre on 27th November 1966.
This album is notable for tasty flowing electric guitar work amid fantastic self penned tunes as on Gently Gently and Open House , plus Tina s beautiful vocals are to the fore on the amazing Flying Away, a haunting track with beautiful melody...the group are probably best remembered for the album s closing track Endless Tunnel, an ambitious amalgam of Western and Eastern musical styles.
Overall the album is legendary and sadly was Serpent Power s only album, definitely a psychedelic masterpiece.
Besides Meltzer and his wife Tina who sang both lead and harmony vocals , the band also included Denny Ellis and David Stenson on lead guitar and bass, respectively, both of whom had gotten their start with 66 first LP Grass Roots. The band became a full rock outfit with the inclusion of John Payne on organ and Clark Coolidge on drums. The album received a somewhat limited pressing makes it now so hard to find and, despite featuring some excellent examples of flowing psychedelia, the band never got that big, known mostly within the San Francisco area. The album s last track is a fantastic raga-rock epic reaching exotic exploratory directions. The band didn t record another album, and disbanded in 1968. David and Tina Meltzer went on to record another album, Poet s Song, under their own names ...
