"Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day" (1972)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Man  "Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day"  1972 (UK-Wales)
Man was a lesser known West Coast psychedelic jam band -- but from Western Britain, which is to say Wales. They debuted with a classic psychedelic concept album Revelation in 1969, broke up in 1976, and have reformed sporadically since the 1980's, with membership changes along the way too numerous to mention. The key players were the two lead guitarists, Michael "Micky" Jones and Roger "Deke" Leonard, with bassist Martin Ace joining for their third album and sticking around longer than most. Iconic Gentle Giant drummer John Weathers also joined them for a while in the 1980's, and the group  collaborated on a fine live album with John Cipollina from Quicksilver Messenger Service (perhaps the "other west coast" band that influenced them the most). Known for their live jamming, the fifth Man studio album is their most jammalicious non-concert recording, and is our CAOTW this week . . . man.
