Get It On – PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC****

Wade In The Water/Cry Cry Cry/Motor City’s Burning/The Hunter/Long Handled Shovel/Jelly Jelly/Stormy Time/ Live Love

Get It On was the debut album from the Los Angeles blues rock group Pacific Gas and Electric. It features some dynamic guitar playing, inventive tunes and powerful vocals. (US:159)

“Incredible guitar work. Glenn Schwartz was rated one of the top five best guitarists in the world. This album showcases his guitar better than any other PG & E album.”

“A lost blues classic, this is by far the best PG & E disc. Not a bad track on the LP. Every one features the cutting guitar leads of Glenn Schwartz, while Charlie Allen belts out the vocals with conviction and power. Stand outs include Stormy Time, Motor City's Burning and Cry Cry Cry. If you like gritty blues/rock, this one is worth searching for.”

“This raw and exciting electric blues still shows exactly why PG & E were one of the most highly rated, and among the best remembered, groups of their era.”

“From the first bars of Wade In The Water you knew it was something special. The band's arrangements of the tunes are inventive and get your feet a-tappin' and your hands a-clappin'.”

“Schwartz's tone is a legit guitar god, but without the widespread fame. Check this release out though. The quality is good and there are some great blues guitar licks throughout.”

“What a hell of a album. These guys are great, they deserve much more fame than what they got. First rate sixties blues rock. Fantastic rhythm section, great singer from an underrated R & B band.”

“It's a real shame they didn't stick to their rock-blues roots, they just may have got a lot farther than they did. Glen Schwartz was definitely an underrated guitarist. Just listen to Long Handled Shovel.”

“The music is exceptional, amazing and convincing. A must for everyone who likes quality. Although less known, this band is much better than their peers.”
