Fifth album (# 157 in the US Billboard 200). After recording the previous album and European tour, bassist Bob Mosley (schizophrenic, like Skip Spence) in March 1969 threw the group and enlisted in the US Marine Corps. He stayed there for several months in uchebke until you got into a fight with an officer and was expelled ... At this time the group relationship with her former manager Matthew Katz continued to deteriorate. In late 1968, Katz filed a lawsuit for one million dollars against the group, claiming that it has the rights to the name of the group and requires musicians to prohibit its use. He even created another group called Moby Grape ... And Peter Lewis, Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson had contractual obligations to label Columbia to release another album ... So they released Truly Fine Citizen ... Here it bass helped session musician Bob Moore, who worked with Bob Dylan and Simon-Garfunkel. For three days in May in Nashville recorded everything ... Do not be fooled some author Tim Dell'Ara, you are nowhere and never find it no more. It was the road manager (road manager) group. The real authors of these songs Miller and Stevenson attributed them to his roadie because of possible complications Katz ... In fact, the group then there was not - by Peter Lewis (incidentally, also schizophrenic) begged to participate in the recording of the album, he came, learned the lyrics and sang ... And Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson had been in the band The Rhythm Dukes ... music - specifically pure country rock (just hear the difference with the added on this CD bonus tracks from 1967-1968). But the story is far from Moby Grape ends ...
