String Cheese - String Cheese (1971 Folk/Psych from Chicago)

Originally released in 1971, this lost gem makes its CD debut here. Based in Chicago, the band produced a mellow fusion of West Coast-style songs, flowing guitar leads and electric violin that has led them to be compared to Itís A Beautiful Day. Despite being released in countries including the UK and France, the album didnít connect commercially and has languished in undeserved obscurity ever since.

A sort of poor man's It's A Beautiful Day from Chicago. Indeed electric violinist Greg Block, who contributed much to their album was later in It's A Beautiful Day and drummer John Maggi was earlier with Turnquist Remedy. This album features some nice lead guitar work and is definitely worth a spin. It was produced by James Golden.
