The Elders - Looking For The Answer (1971 USA, funky psych rock,)Full Album

These four boys are self-contained - which means they never lose their tempers. They open their mouths only when they sing. Hometown - Dayton, Ohio and the surrounding. To their credit as writers: LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER, IT'S TOO LATE TO CHANGE, EVERYBODY SAY YEAH, YOUR MOTHER CHEWS TOBACCO, and FORT LAUDERDALE The gentleman that has been guiding them, although they are sighted and have no need for a seeing-eye dog is Gordon Neal, a triple threat talent, producer, writer and arranger. Contributing writer is solo talent Linda Bari; Women's Lib is opting for her equal rights. The Elders have been working night clubs and one-night stands. With the help of this album they hope to play two-night stands throughout the Midwest, also the West, North, South and East. They have a unique sound and each in his own right can be a lead singer. (Judges, 21:24, "Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.") Selective Service please note they prefer not to lead any military bands or marches. Although The Elders are young they live their lives in double time and have written about fifty tunes. This is their first album and with it they hope to take up the slack left by The Beatles. In addition to their original materiai they perform the great. standards of today, TWENTY-FIVE MILES, SISSY STRUT, and HIP HUGGER. To the non-initiated a standard is a song which has been on the charts longer than twenty-four hours. They feel they are better than many of the groups around and would like you to remember them and not forget this album or the songs therein. As an added note of non-sequitur interest, Linda Bari is a major in psychology and thus THE ELDERS may well be the only group that carries a traveling psychiatrist-in-residence.
