Comin' Thru

Comin' Thru is the seventh album by American psychedelic rock band Quicksilver Messenger Service. The album is marked by the debut of a horn section, while Chuck Steaks replaced Mark Naftalin on keyboards. Dino Valenti's songs dominate as they had on the last three albums, with his tune "Mojo" having appeared in their live setlist since 1970. It is generally regarded as their weakest effort, failing to chart higher than #134 and more or less marked the end of Quicksilver as anything other than a part-time band.
