The Chambers Brothers – The Time Has Come

The Chambers Brothers are four brothers in the flesh who took their first steps in church choirs and on gospel and folk stages in Southern California. But it wasn't until the mid-1960s that things really took off, when they performed in New York and landed their only hit "Time Has Come Today" in 1968. This 11-minute opus stayed at #11 (yes, really!) on the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks and exemplified the brothers' progressive mindset; the group combined American blues and gospel traditions with the effects-laden sound of psychedelic rock, which was very much in vogue at the time. If you are a fan of psychedelic soul like Rotary Connection, you should not miss this album.

"The Time Has Come" is available in a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on red vinyl.
