"The Other Side Of This Life" by The Youngbloods

The Youngbloods were a rock band from Massachusetts that are largely considered to be a one-hit wonder. They are best known for their classic "Get Together," which first charted in 1967 at #62 but came back to hit #5 in 1969.

The Youngbloods had two other minor hits: "Grizzly Bear" reached #52 in 1967 and "Darkness, Darkness" reached #86 in 1970, marking their final chart appearance. Lead singer and bassist Jesse Colin Young then embarked on a solo career. The closest he came to seeing chart action again was in 1977 when "Higher & Higher" bubbled under.

"The Other Side Of This Life" shows another side of The Youngbloods, one that is more fiery and unafraid to include some wild guitar work.
