Random quote from the Gary Higgins review:

What Higgins and various members of Random Concept and the Wooden Wheel
created during roughly 40 hours of recording in February 1973 was and is
remarkable. 'Red Hash' (the name given to Higgins by fellow inmates while
he was on remand) is bearded-loner-psych-folk of the highest water. The
record starts with the signature rural sounds of' 'Thicker than a Smokey',
recent covered on the Six Organs of Admittance CD 'School of the Flower', and
it's the kind of track that would have been a major hit if Higgins had been part
of the West Coast singer-songwriter scene. Seemingly effortless melodic and
rhythmic structures flow like fine wine though the arteries and veins of this
music as the lyrics somewhat map out elements of the then-dying hippie
dream.
