Quicksilver Messenger Service was an American psychedelic rock band, formed in 1965 in San Francisco and considered as a part of the city\'s psychedelic scene. Essentially a jam band, Quicksilver Messenger Service gained wide popularity in the Bay Area and with psychedelic rock enthusiasts around the globe. Many of their albums ranked in the top 30 of the Billboard Pop charts. Though not ultimately as popular as contemporaries Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, the band was integral to the beginnings of their genre. With influences in jazz and Ravel, as well as a strong folk background, the band attempted to create a sound that was individual and innovative.
Happy Trails is the second album of the American band Quicksilver Messenger Service.
Happy Trails consists mainly of a performance cover of Bo Diddley\'s "Who Do You Love?" spread out over 25 minutes. The song was divided into several parts ("What Do You Love," "How Do You Love," "Where Do You Love," etc.) possibly to avoid legal conflicts with Diddley. The live portions of the album were recorded at the Fillmore East and at the Fillmore West.
The second half of the album is comprised of an almost continuous suite. Beginning with another Bo Diddley song ("Mona"), guitarist Gary Duncan\'s "Maiden of the Cancer Moon" follows and the album closes with "Calvary", which manifested itself during a studio acid trip. As a coda, the band sing the theme tune from Roy Rogers\' western television show, which lends its title to the album. Fans of rock trivia may be interested to note that this whimsical tune also appears on Van Halen\'s Diver Down.
The record was released by Capitol records in stereo.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 189 on Rolling Stone magazine\'s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
