Super brooding and moody.įrom the Sanbun No San recording from 1975. The bass and organ interplay on this song is excellent. We used to joke that the drums even had fuzz on them. The whole record is amazing and pretty heavy. One of those Super Session records that became an absolute classic. The interplay between the manic jamming in the beginning and the heaviness of the verse is perfect on “Just I Was Born.” The Demon & Eleven Children record, along with Flower Travellin Band’s Satori, were the main inspirations for one of the riffs on our new record, that we originally wrote close to 20 years ago and never recorded until now.
