Como es sabido Moby Grape fue un grupo muy completo y versátil en el que todos aportaban voces y composiciones. "I am Not Willing" es un tema de Peter Lewis en una onda próxima, muy próxima, a Neil Young. Hay que ver que maravillosa canción... sencilla y evocadora, y uno de los temas que da variedad y contraste al álbum. El problema es que es demasiado breve. Tenían una mina de oro y no quisieron escarbar un poco más, lástima...
Por supuesto, en el álbum también participaron en tareas compositivas Jerry Miller y Don Stevenson, y hasta hay un tema perdido al final de Skip Spence. LP muy recomendado.

Some original lineups end up destroyed thanks to a myriad of factors, including many personal problems. For instance – while Moby Grape returned to their early personnel, if we squint, their double LP Wow / Grape Jam – these two discs were sold separately, funnily enough – provided a fine closure for them. I mean, I'm shocked they managed to make such a diverse collection of tunes thanks to the fact Skip Spence was already on his way to meet Syd Barrett for a drink, if you catch my drift. However, one wishes they would've found a way to make this work later on, since these two platters are a work on the collective firing on all cylinders. Of course, the reason for me saying that lies in the quality of the songs, which – let's be honest – would've probably been hard to achieve later.

Listened to this in full for the first time today. Pretty good outsider music. Skip Spence was the drummer on Jefferson Airplane's first album. He played in a few other bands but sadly he had serious mental health issues. He wrote this album while he was in a mental hospital after attacking his bandmates with an axe. Most of it's a minimalistic country rock but since it was originally supposed to be just a demo it's definately rougher around the edges than most of that ilk during the late 60s. Then there's the lyrics. You can tell he tried for something semi-normal for a country rock album, but they really come off more as the ramblings of someone barely holding it together. Good album, check it out if you want one of the most unique and odd albums off 1969.

TIL Skip Spence was in both Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane before going on to Moby Grape.
Shit was so incestuous back then. Like, from like ‘65-‘72 at least, it seems like every band you’ve heard of has at least one person who was in 1-2 other bands you’ve heard of.
