OK, we’re out of the ’60s now and into the year 1970. This collection includes a back-to-back-to-back set of songs reflecting the final releases of three ’60s powerhouse groups, and a generous collection of songs from CCR’s “Cosmo’s Factory”, arguably the most successful pop album of that year. At this point, the psychedelic sounds of mid-’67-’69 have pretty much given way to what will become known as ’70s rock, but, given the college campus violence of the year – most notably, the Kent State shootings – political consciousness and the sense of things-gone-awry still abounds.

I’ve also included a fair dose of cuts from The Doors’ “Morrison Hotel” – at that point, the hardest rocking blues album they had ever done, but an ever harder (and in my view, better) album was still to come.
