MOUNT RUSHMORE
This third generation, late 60s San Francisco rock group comprised Glen "Smitty" Smith (vocals),
Mike "Bull" Bolan (guitar), Terry Kimball (bass) and Travis Fullerton (drums). Although they failed
to garner the same commercial or artistic plaudits of many contemporaries, the group's two albums
revealed a competent, if unadventurous, act. Mount Rushmore disbanded in 1969 following
the release of their second album, although Fullerton later found success
as a member of Sylvester And The Hot Band

Also-rans of the San Francisco psychedelic era, Mount Rushmore gigged frequently with fellow travelers
Big Brother & the Holding Company, Canned Heat, and Quicksilver Messenger Service, but this debut LP is evidence enough
of why they aren't held in the same esteem. Mount Rushmore pumped out competent electric boogie with a boozy edge,
but they coast on distortion and attitude rather than songcraft or instrumental prowess, placing them firmly in the garage
band tradition but not among the trendsetters that shared their bills. The brief liner notes introduce the band as self-proclaimed
"blues-rock band...all country boys" who "dig to take their funky grey truck on the road," and they sound like hicks too,
full of confidence and bluster but possessing only the simplest of skills. Opening a debut LP with Jimi Hendrix's "Stone Free"
is a bold move and a curious choice, establishing the territory that the band will mine and exactly how they measure up
to the gold standard (in Mount Rushmore's case, nowhere near). However, High on Mount Rushmore contains some
tracks of interest to the dedicated psych-rock historian. "I Don't Believe in Statues" closes out side one and functions
as a manifesto of sorts, an indignant outsider cry set to charging riffs that sound like an Amboy Dukes record warped
by the sun. The ten-minute epic "Looking Back" scores highest in rock action; plus, it features a crude but convincing
space jam breakdown that boasts disoriented feedback, thunderstorm sound effects,
and random hippie banter floating through the atmosphere...(AllMusic)
