Formed in Tennessee in 1969 by folk-duo Ian & Sylvia Tyson as a means of updating their sound to reflect the changing times.

The band recorded one album for Ampex Records in 1970.

Many famous musicians passed through the group's ranks including blues guitarist Amos Garrett (who is best known for providing guitar on Maria Muldaur's smash hit "Midnight At The Office"), members of Mountain, The Grateful Dead, and Canadian guitarist David Wilcox who would go on to a significant solo career.

The band split up in 1976.
