Jeannie Piersol's hip hybrid of rock, soul and Indian flavors is revealed for the first time in this unprecedented collection that features her sought-after 1968 singles for Chess along with material by The Yellow Brick Road and Hair. Incudes studio outtakes, demos and live performances from the legendary Matrix nightclub are joined by an extensively illustrated 16-page booklet with a 7500 word essay from Grammy-nominated producer Alec Palao Jeannie Piersol is one of the enigmas of the mid-1960s San Francisco rock scene. Though little known, the distinctive singer emerged from the same community to the south of San Francisco that nurtured the principals of the Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Big Brother and other enabling constituents of the city's future rock meritocracy. Close friends with Grace Slick and her brother-in-law Darby Slick, Piersol duetted with Grace in an embryonic line-up of pathfinding early SF outfit The Great! Society, before leaving to front her own band, The Yellow Brick Road, who worked the clubs and ballrooms of the emerging SF circuit, including legendary venue the Matrix.
