Funky Psychedelic Folk,
By
This review is from: Feel The Spirit: Other Worldly Folk Music Gems And Psychedelics (Audio CD)
As with most genres, there's been a glut of folk compilations released over the past decade and this is one of the very best. The Donovan track aside, this is essentially a compilation of female sung songs that highlight the more psychedelic and, in a lot of cases, funk elements of folk from both sides of the Atlantic during the late 60s and early 70s. It's difficult to select highlights from such a strong selection of songs but special mention must go to Sunforest's majestic & bass heavy Magician In the Mountain, Fairport Convention's sublime 'Autopsy' and Spleen's tripped out 'Along Came Sam'.
Many of the featured artists have had albums that contain the songs here reissued over the past few years and most are worthy of further investigation, particularly Vashti Bunyan's 'Just Another Diamond Day', Nancy Priddy's 'You've Come This Way Before' and Susan Christie's 'Paint a Lady'. Finders Keepers Records subsidiary Bird Records 2007 compilation Bearded Ladies is of a similar vein and should appeal to anyone who enjoys this album. Essential listening.

As good as Gather In The Mushrooms or Early Morning Hush,
By Michael "Michael" (Hamburg, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feel The Spirit: Other Worldly Folk Music Gems And Psychedelics (Audio CD)
I have the above-mentioned compilations besides a few others, but I mention these two because you can be expEcted to have to fork out over 25 pounds or more for them second hand. Yet this CD goes for around 4 pounds! I don't know why, as it's nOthing to do with the quality of the music. There's fantastic stuff on here which rivals the best of the progressive, acid folk compilations in my colLection. My advice is to snap this up now while quantities are large enough to ensure a low price - for this CD is sure to go the way of the CDs already mentioned, and will no doubt one day be fetching over 20 pounds when stocks run out.
