As Arthur Lee entered the studio to begin the sessions for 1969s Four Sail, he was the only remaining band member from the group's previous three albums. Enlisting the aid of Frank Fayad on bass, George Suranovich and Drachen Theaker on drums and Jay Donnellan on guitar, Lee launched a marathon recording session.
Their record company Elektra culled through the session tapes, selecting the best songs for inclusion on the album. With the exception of "The Singing Cowboy", which Lee co-wrote with Donnellan, all tracks were penned by Lee. Four Sail perfectly captures its moment in time, as the 60s were about to give way to the 70s and rock was on the cusp of another decade of experimentation.
The album features the singles "The Singing Cowboy", "Always See Your Face" and "Robert Montgomery".
Music on Vinyl label pressing features three bonus tracks.
