What makes 20 Granite Creek by Moby Grape notable?

'20 Granite Creek' is notable for its eclectic sound that strayed from mainstream rock conventions, showcasing Moby Grape's unique approach to genre blending. While it did not achieve significant commercial success, the album has been recognized for its influence on the psychedelic rock scene and its critical reappraisal over the years. By the time '20 Granite Creek' was released in September 1971, Moby Grape had experienced significant turmoil, including lineup changes and declining commercial success following their acclaimed debut. This album served as a follow-up to their previous work, 'Moby Grape,' and reflected both their attempts to evolve artistically and the challenges faced in the music industry during that era.
