The CD Are You Ready By Pacific Gas and Electric is a very good collection of blues rock albums from the late sixties era. It has distinctive sounds that transport you back to a time when times were good with high energy and a down home blusey feel. It is a very enjoyable CD.

I have to say we called this the bannanna album when I was a kid. We begged mom to play it over and over again. I still have all my original records. When we were getting rid of records the Pacific Gas and Electric records I refused to get rid of.
It is music that has always touched my soul. This is a must have if you like music.

I had the LP ARE YOU READY? and the last track was "When A Man Loves A Woman" but it doesn't appear on the CD -- anyone know why?

Hear "Guitar Glenn" aka "Boy Wonder" rip out some classic blues licks! One of the greatest ever to play the guitar. Very soulful blues on this comp. A true living legend. Glenn still rocks the house every thursday at Hooples (Cleveland Ohio - West Bank of the Flats - Columbus Street) with brother Gene. Check it out, Cleveland's best kept secret!

Having been friends with some of the surviving members of this band for many years now, I'd like to add and correct a couple of things posted here.
The Bassist for the 1st 3 albums was Brent Block, not Black...
Guitarist Tom Marshall was also on the 1st 3 albums, and is a founding member.
Bluesberry Jam and PG&E are two entirely different bands. One did not descend from the other. Only vocalist Al Walten was ever in Bluesberry Jam and PG&E. He left before Glenn Schwartz arrived. Fito De La Para didn't play with PG&E.
So, the lineup for the 1st 3 albums would be
Tom Marshall - Guitar
Glenn Schwartz - Guitar
Brent Block - Bass
Frank Cook - Drums
Charlie Allen - Vocals
The 1971 lineup for the PG&E album would be Allen, guitarist Ken Utterback, bassist Frank Petricca, Ron Woods on drums, Jerry Aiello on keyboards, trumpet player Stanly Abernathy, sax players Alfred Galagos and Virgil Gonsalves, and percussionist Joe LaLa.
The 1973 release, "... Starring Charlie Allen" was done with Allen and a host of studio musicians.
There is more film history besides "Junie Moon".
A documentary of this band playing at a drug rehab center in Lexington, Kentucky was made by noted author and filmmaker Lawrence Schiller. It's called "The Lexington Experience". It was shown publicly only a couple of times when a disagreement over music royalties shelved it. The only known copies ... Read More
