Lincoln St. Exit - Drive It! (1970)


Lincoln St. Exit - Drive It!

LSE, a band formed by Native Americans. You will notice how their origin effected their music. I love everything about this band, including their next band XIT (will be here later). "Man Machine",  "Soulful Drifter" and "Phantom Child" are my favorite songs. Love the lyrics, love the sound; enjoy!

Band information:

Lincoln Street Exit’s sole album is one of those efforts that’s generated considerable attention throughout the collecting community over the years.

Formed in 1964, the original line up consisted of Paul Chapman, drummer Lee Herres, singer/guitarist Michael Martin and bassist Mac Suazo. A rarity in that it was one of the few mid-1960s native American rock bands (all four members were New Mexico Sioux) to actively tour and record, the group struggled for six years with little recognition; managing to release three instantly obscure singles during that timeframe.

By the time the band was signed to the Detroit-based Mainstream label, Chapman had died replaced by guitarist R.C. Gariss. Teamed with producer Brad Shad 1970’s “Drive It!” served to showcase material from Martin and non-member Tom Bee.
