Released at the same time as Demon And Eleven Children (1971), this is the album the beautiful Carmen Maki recorded with the band Blues Creation, this heavy guitar blues rocker is bluesier than Eleven Children but still has some nice guitar work.  Maki was probably one of the strongest voices of Japanese rock and is featured here doing her finest Grace Slick meets Janis impression and very well too! Lots of brutal, non-stop wailing guitar but some mellow, bluesy psychedelic rock numbers too. Maki went on to form her own band, Oz, but this is the collaboration for which she will be best remembered.
