RIP ‘Up on Cripple Creek’ was my first explicit introduction to them. After buying their 1969 self titled album on a whim, my jaw dropped from hearing the original sample from GangStarr’s “Beyond Comprehension” off their 1990 ‘Step in the Arena’. That isolated drum roll and guitar lick is so mystical. I could listen to those brief 3 seconds on loop for hours.
