In the late 60s, the parallel emergence of psychedelia and the blues-based power trio format saw pop evolve into rock. In America, bands became harder, heavier, rawer and louder to a backdrop of the Vietnam War, street drugs and increasingly powerful amps. Commercially successful acts like Vanilla Fudge, Steppenwolf, Blue Cheer and Iron Butterfly spearheaded a new wave of bands whose sound would later be codified as heavy metal. Over three CDs and four hours of music, 'We're An American Band' charts hard rock's evolution during the late 60s and early 70s, culminating in Grand Funk's game-changing, chart-topping late 1973 single of the same name. In addition to the aforementioned bands, we feature the likes of Alice Cooper, The Stooges, ZZ Top, MC5 and Love, hard rock dilettantes (Todd Rundgren, Kim Fowley, even Muddy Waters) and such pioneers as Kurt Cobain-endorsed satanic rockers Coven and early metalheads Sir Lord Baltimore. We include tracks from some of the most valuable vinyl LPs on the planet (Bolder Damn, Brigade), ultra-rare local singles (The Mass Confusion Rock Band, Wildwood) and vital music that went unreleased at the time (B. F. Trike, Cold Sun, etc). With accompanying 48-page booklet, 'We're An American Band' is a fascinating window on American rock's epic journey from the bowels of the late 60s underground counterculture to mainstream mid-70s acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTicket to Ride - Vanilla Fudge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron Butterfly Theme - Iron Butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummertime Blues - Blue Cheer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ostrich (Album Version) - Steppenwolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemlap's Cave Part II - the Savage Resurrection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan Who Paints the\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures - Fever Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Should I Care - the Sound Barrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePride of Man - Quicksilver Messenger Service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Own Life - Easy Chair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken Wire Lady - Blues Magoos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApril 15th - the Human Beinz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic People -Wildwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe War Rages on - Mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfusion Rock Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Sheep - SRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Spend the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTogether - Muddy Waters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrazy Woman - Dragonfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Smoke and Sasafrass - the Bubble Puppy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Morning Day - Omnibus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Genie Man - Society's Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlow My Mind - Darius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNightrider - Kim Fowley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKick Out the Jams - MC5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Seller - Stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Ice - Nazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFields of Regret - Alice Cooper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOceans Inside Me - Stone Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Be Your Dog - the Stooges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark-Eyed Woman - Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJourneys - the Litter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Montgomery - Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonovan's Monkey - Stalk-Forrest Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWicked Woman - Coven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome to the Void - Morgen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBabylon - Conception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of the Rising Sun - Frijid Pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSad Day - Fuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMississippi Queen - Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Parking (Live) - Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Road - Christopher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Made Gold - Brigade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath of a Virgin - Damnation of Adam Blessing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeighbor, Neighbor - ZZ Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwisted Flower - Cold Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStars in the Sky - Wildfire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelium Head (I Got a Love) - Sir Lord Baltimore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime and Changes - B.
