Hear and Now (album) explained

Hear and Now is the second and final album by Butts Band, released in 1975. With the exception of founders Robby Krieger and John Densmore, the band consists entirely of different musicians than the band's debut album.

As with the band's self titled debut album, Hear and Now sold poorly and the group disbanded shortly after the album's release.

Both albums by the Butts Band were repackaged together and released in 1996 as One Way label's, "The Complete Recordings". Two studio bonus tracks, "That's All Right" and "Lovin' You For All The Right Reasons", were added to the album.
