Tarkio is the third album by Brewer & Shipley. Released in 1970, the album (also known as Tarkio Road, as that title was printed on the labels of original pressings of the LP and pre-recorded tapes) yielded the hit "One Toke Over the Line" and "Tarkio Road." On the duo's website - I just that their next gig is in downstate IL - is April 16th, at Edwardsville (SIU campus) where they are playing with Pure Prairie League - at Wildey Theater.

One regular gig was Tarkio College in the small town of Tarkio, Missouri and being long-hairs at that time in that place it was essential not to stop in the small towns on the way back home. They found they could just make it from Tarkio to Saint Joseph, Missouri on a single tank of gas and took to calling the route "Tarkio Road". And below is the gorgeous inside cover...
