Vehicle, the Ides of March's debut album, came out on Warner Bros. in June 1970, and it exists because of one song. The title single turned into the fastest seller the label had ever had, and the band got hustled straight into the studio to come up with a whole LP to go with it.
"Vehicle" itself is a brassy, strutting jazz-rock stomp, horns punching away like a big band that got into the amplifiers, and the rest of the record wanders all over the dial: rock, pop, soul, even folk. The one-hit-wonder tag has dogged them ever since, a little unfairly, since they got 5 songs into the US Top 100.
