Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in February 1972, Burgers is Hot Tuna's third studio album, following their self-titled debut and the more experimental First Pull Up, Then Pull Down. At this point, the band had solidified its identity as a prominent blues-rock outfit, emerging from the psychedelic scene of Jefferson Airplane while carving their own niche.
