I’ve always loved Steppenwolf’s sound. Great tune.
I only ever really knew ‘Born to Be Wild’.
Nice to read about a Steppenwolf tune other than “Born to be Wild” or “Magic Carpet Ride” – don’t get me wrong, I dig both of these tunes, but sometimes it appears the band only had these two tracks. This one is a good example there was more to the picture.
yep those are the only two that the radio seems to know.
