To many, The Captain and Me remains the feel-good California quintet's best work. Balanced between Tom Johnston's harder-rocking contributions and Patrick Simmons' mellower country-laced ballads, the album satisfies all tastes and displays a stunning array of high harmonies and interlocking rhythms.
Mastered from the original master tapes and loaded with detail, MoFi's Hybrid stereo SACD glows with radiant warmth, organic tones, and acoustic presence. You have never heard the familiar chorus of "China Grove" or romance of "South City Midnight Lady" with such clarity, soul, or immediacy. This is 70s rock at its best.
