Snake is the fourth studio album by Bahamian folk musician Exuma, released in 1972 through Kama Sutra Records.
Reception
Upon its release, Lynn Van Matre of the Chicago Tribune called the album "Wholly weird and mostly wonderful." In a retrospective review, J. Chandler of AllMusic commended the album's cover artwork but wrote that the album's music content "is pretty indistinguishable from the rest of the low-budget drugged out hippie Hare Krishna rock-jazz chant music being made at the time."
