 Though somewhat uneasy about being the only non-southern rock performers signed to the label, the members agreed to the contract without a manager or any legal representation  and quickly recorded their self-titled debut album in Capricorn's Macon, Georgia studios.The band toured extensively to support the record, opening for established acts such as Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, Billy Preston, and others.Fisher left the group sometime after the first album and was replaced by Rabbi Barbee, who left before the group went back in into the studio in 1974.
