C., Cleveland, Little Rock, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Durham, Nashville, New Orleans, St. Louis, Houston and Ft. Worth. Before its release a few weeks ago, Chambers Brothers songs were usually initially played on more AM and Underground than R&B stations. But there's no label for their special and unique brand of gospel, blues and rock.
