Chariot's lone musical offering, this eponymous release withits stunnig artwork, appeared on the obscure National Generallabel (NG2003) in 1968. The label, which apparently was themusical arm of the National General Cinema corporation, wasdistributed by Buddah Records and only lasted long enough toissue a handful of records including several undistinguishedsoundtracks.Chariot, which evolved out of a '60s outfit called The Knack,are often described as a Cream-influenced blues/psych trio,although to many ears their sound exhibits more than a hint ofa classic flower power groove, with some decidedlyprogressive touches.Although the other band members seem to have disappearedwithout trace, English-born drummer Pug Baker went on toplay with a number of minor bands, such as the RCA-signedRocking Horse, and Waves, a group that enjoyed a shorttenure with Epic. Baker is still bashing the skins, and iscurrently plying his trade with southern rockers Ghost Riders.Another extremely good album disinterred from the vaults ofpsych obscurityTrack Listing1.
