Customer Reviews:

very good cd.......2007-01-10

this is a very enjoyable cd. it's style is from psychedelic rock to acoustic folk. if you like the san francisco sound of the 60s/70s, this will fit in with your collection. kak can be compared to country joe & the fish, jefferson airplane, quicksilver messenger service, the mothers of invention and donovan, to name a few. the first song is forgettable, but the rest is rich and diverse. extra half-hour of music is acoustic tracks with a couple of rock tunes. i bought this because gary yoder went on to play with blue cheer, a favorite of mine.

a true goodie.......2006-10-25

yeah, i did some drugs in the late sixties. bought a bunch of LP's too. later on, when i recommitted my life to Christ, i ditched most of the old albums, but there was one gem i kept....KAK. i thought i was about the only person to know about this group. they have a unique sound which i find enchanting and it continues to satisfies me as it draws me into the music. i like KAK. i never heard a group quite like them. definitely acid rock. but not at all abrasive. nice

Fans of West Coast psych should not hesitate to grab this.......2005-10-05

A lot of obscure '60s "psychedelic" albums have been hailed by pundits as "lost classics." I've been suckered into buying many of these, and have often been disappointed.

Kak's sole album from '68 is a happy exception. If I had to compile a list of the Top 10 West Coast psych albums, KAK-OLA would be on it, right along with the best of the Airplane, the Dead, QMS and Love. Derivative? Sometimes, but who cares? Kak absolutely NAILED this idiom. If you like the above-named groups, you simply have to check out KAK-OLA.

I dare you to hear the dreamy, cannabis-infused guitar riff of "The Lemonade Kid" and not buy this! Betcha can't get it out of your head ...

Many psychedelic albums that are regarded as
"lost classics"would be overshadowed by this album,the packaging alone is a treasure trove,that answers all the pertinent questions regarding this release,and how the group and the album came into existence.
All of this would mean nothing if the music were not of such a high standard throughout.I believe that this album distills many of the great things about the psychedelic sixties.Highlights are many and the guitar work is awesome.Rain stands out as particularly memorable.Of course the album meanders occasionaly,but it is difficult to believe that,with all that is so excellent about this album Kak never emerged at the time and made a larger impact.Big Beat records should be congratulated for this brilliant release.Also listening to Gary Yoder"s tracks as basically works in progress is an inspired and inspiring move.For all those people that have been let down by lost classics,please go out and give this a chance.
