Comments and Reviews

Dr Doom SUBS 15th Apr 2016		Review Just when you think there are surely no lost gems of the 60s left to be discovered something like this album comes along. Recorded in 1969 at the legendary Ardent studio of Memphis it remained unreleased until a 1981 issue on Peabody (Good luck finding one of those) and a 1994 CD reissue on Lucky Seven. Despite these two issues it remained scarce and was certainly unknown to me. Step forward Light In The Attic to make this wonderful album more freely available. Six instrumentals which are so melodic and floaty that they could have been recorded yesterday. If you can imagine a cross between the more placid work of John Fahey and the melancholy moments of fellow Memphis alchemists Big Star then that will give you a good idea of what to expect. Of course this album was recorded 3 years before Big Star's debut but you have to feel that they must have heard the tapes. As one of my friends commented when I first played this album to him - 'You keep expecting it to break into Watch The Sunrise at any moment' All in all a really beautiful album with artwork, sleevenotes and a fine pressing to match its high standards. 2 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
