Serving as the Side A track, "I Shall Be Released" showcases KANSAS GRASS laying down a tight, driving vocal groove performance of the timeless Bob Dylan composition. Released on the iconic pink-and-black split Vantage Records imprint, this outstanding 1971 performance highlights the label's signature production team, engineered via Walterscheid Productions.
