• Track Listing

Starting out as a popular gospel and folk group in Southern California in the mid-1950's, The Chambers Brothers became an integral part of the new wave of music that blended gospel and blues influences with the psychedelic sounds of the mid-1960's, reaching their peak in 1968 with their enormously popular 11-minute long song "Time Has Come Today," which became an anthem of the sixties counter culture. Presented here is their classic 1966 album, "People Get Ready," featuring songs penned by songwriting greats Jimmy Reed, Lowell Fulson, Hank Ballard, Bobby Womack, Leiber & Stoller, Curtis Mayfield, James Taylor, George & Ira Gershwin and two songs written by the brothers themselves. All selections newly remastered.
