THE ELDERS LP Looking For The Answer (Psychedelic Funk)

Originally emerging from the Ohio garage scene as Jerry and the Others, The Elders released their sole album in 1971 — a surprising mix of soul-infused rock, funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars, and psych flourishes. Despite the ominous skull-and-book cover art, this isn’t heavy Sabbath-style riffing, but rather a vibrant, danceable sound closer to Sly and The Family Stone, Rare Earth, and early Hendrix. Rooted more in the late ’60s than the early ’70s, their groove-heavy, genre-blending approach feels both raw and infectious. A true sleeper gem worth digging up. · A1 Looking For The Answer 5:00 · A2 Too Late To Change 4:13 · A3a Sissy Strut · A3b Romp 4:02 · A4 Fort Lauderdale 0:55 · B1 25 Miles 3:38 · B2 By The Size Of My Shoes 3:16 · B3 Everybody Says Yeah 3:22 · B4 Hip Hugger 3:30 · B5 Your Mother Chews Tobacco 1:09
