Did you ever wonder what the great blues-rock guitarist Billy Gibbons did before ZZ Top? Well, he was in a group called Moving Sidewalks of course. I didn't know that he was either, so don't feel left out. Flash is the only album they ever made. And they were a popular regional group in the Houston area. They also backed up Jimi Hendrix on a few occasions at concerts. You can hear Jimi's influence coming through on several songs.
This is typical psych-rock for the year in which it was released, 1968. It was originally released on Tantara Records, now it's remastered with several bonus tracks thanks to Akarma Records. This is a really nice top quality digipack, made to emulate the LP.
