Cactus


"One Way... or Another" is the second studio album by the American rock band Cactus, released in 1971 by Atco Records. The album features several original songs along with two cover versions: Little Richard's 1956 hit "Long Tall Sally" and Chuck Willis' "I Feel So Bad," retitled as "Feel So Bad." The recording took place at the newly opened Electric Lady Studios in New York, with renowned engineer Eddie Kramer. Following the pattern of their debut album, Cactus, the album includes six original songs and two covers. "Long Tall Sally" opens the album with a slower, rousing rendition, followed by a series of original compositions and the inclusion of Willis' 1954 song "Feel So Bad." The album also features the short instrumental "Song for Aries," highlighting McCarty's lead guitar work. It was released in February 1971, just seven months after their first album.
