Spencer was also with my favorite hippie Country rock band The New Riders Of The Purple sage,from which I recently found on the net some great live shows and been listening to for the past months.
I'm with you there Aake, I used to have what I think was their first album, the one with the cactus on the front. I particularly remember a song about a mining disaster called Dirty Business, with Jerry Garcia playing pedal steel guitar through a fuzz box and wha wha, awsome !!
