Terry Andersen and Howard Wales then left, the latter to play with Harvey Mandel, Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. They were replaced by Rick Jaeger and James Curley Cooke (ex-The Versitones and The Steve Miller Band).
Still in the same style, their second album was recorded in March 1970 and produced by Kim Fowley and Michael Lloyd. Cooke had obviously became their leader, writing most of their original material. The covers this time were Fats Domino's I'm Walkin, Doc Pomus's My Baby Quit Me and a version of Groovin'. The excellent and long track Gazebo was clearly jazz oriented and dedicated to Gabor Szabo. The band also started work for a third album which was never completed.
Upon their demise, Cooke went on to Cat And The Fiddle and also played with Boz Scaggs and Ben Sidran. After some years out of the music scene, he came in 1980 back with a decent solo album Gingerman (First American ). Rick Jaeger joined Crowfoot and became a session man.

Tap into this
Whippin in DC without an assist
Bring in the beat cause you know what it is
Real acrobatic, I'm making it flip
Before I hit 50 I'm trynna get rich
Because I ain't dying though life is a bitch
Give it my all give a hunnid percent
Why do you keep trying, why do you persist
This shit is a breeze I'm gone with the wind
Cause I know what happens in future events
But looking at you is like looking at tints
Watch for the bros, take care of ya sis
Don't sell ya soul nah don't ever switch
Reach all of ya goals with every attempt
I'm sorry you're no longer someone I miss
You found religion, I talk to Jesus
This is my life, this what I needed
Smoking on salad, don't need no Caesar
Making some cheese like I work at lil Caesars
Hold on to faith like it's a lock
I know what I know, I'm doing it well
Don't hang with the ops
Go pray to your God
And make a change for the ones you could help
My faith for what's ahead is by my side
The love I got to give would never die
A lot that's on my mind and in my hands
Sometimes I feel like you don't understand
Sometimes I feel like you don't understand
Sometimes I feel like you don't understand
