An American Music Band
An American Music Band was the second album by the band the Electric Flag, released in 1968. Band founding member Mike Bloomfield had earlier left the group and did not perform on this release.

Overview
This LP was released in December 1968, on Columbia CS 9714. It featured mostly original material, but with a cover version of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny".  The record reached number 76 on the Billboard Album Chart. By March 15, 1969, in its ninth week on the Billboard album chart, the LP had dropped from no 88 to no 107.

Mike Bloomfield did not play on the album as he had left the band in May 1968. Herbie Rich played a more active part than he had in the band previously. His organ solos can be heard on "Hey, Little Girl", and their rendition of "Sunny" with Buddy Miles on vocals. Rich also played the sax solo and sang lead on the song "Qualified". He played the sax solo for "My Woman That Hangs Around The House" and arranged the horns for "Mystery". Buddy Miles also was now more prominent and was the only member featured on the album cover.
