This essentially electrified bluegrass lineup played standards, including 'Pistol Packin' Mama', the Brothers Johnson's 'Get The Funk Out of My Face', Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Were Made For Walkin', 'Rock Island Line', 'Wasbush Cannonball' and speedy punked up and humorous versions of other country and western, funk, punk, and pop classics.

2 + 2 = ?
"2 + 2 = ?" is a single from The Bob Seger System on their debut album ''Ramblin' Gamblin' Man'', released in January 1968, on Capitol Records. It is an anti-Vietnam War song. History Framed around a central, Animals-esque hard riff driven by bass guitar, bass drum, and a fuzz guitar line, "2 + 2 = ?" is an explicit protest against the United States' role in the Vietnam War and the drafting of young men to serve in it who will end up "buried in the mud, of a foreign jungle land." It also captures the general generational divide of the time: ''Cash Box'' called it "hard rock blues" with "lyrics that are likely to grab the teen listening fancy, strong instrumental thrust and a very fine vocal showing." AllMusic writes that "2 + 2" is "a frightening, visceral song that stands among the best anti-Vietnam protests." Music historian and editor of the Vietnam War Song Project Justin Brummer comments that by 1968 "songs began to emphasise the war’s length, military failures and gr ...
