Vellutogrigio reviews Chilliwack’s 1971 self-titled double album, led by Bill Henderson. The first disc hops across blues, hard, country and prog rock, while the second turns into a minimalist, avant‑garde journey. Initial disappointment gives way to appreciation of its bold, unclassifiable structure. Recommended listening.
