Since first stirring in the seventies, Nicodemus has self-released over fifty records on his Zedikiah label. Recorded in 78, this LP finds Nicodemus teaming up with his brother Matchez for a slightly fuller psychedelic rock sound, still complete with downer vibes and the taste of bad acid !
Nicodemus defines what the Acid Archives and private psych is all about. This DIY folk psych gem features a mixture of solid acoustic compositions backed by congas and a whole lot of effects. In other words, Nicodemus' "Backstreet Orange" can be described as the ultimate mix of lysergic campfire songs.
Listen : A5. Long Road to Depression & A2. Backstreet Orange + A3. Too Loose & A1. Flash
Complete with the original inner sleeve in a great condition !

Unique blend of Jazzy Soft-Rock, Mellow Psych Country Rock arrangements and lot of synths unexpectedly twisting the whole appeareance. This all has an additin of lo-fi rural breath from start to finish. Which makes it all a quiet unique experience.
Here's an otherwise interesting private press album. Musically, it's a mix of rural rock, jazzy soft-rock and mellow bluesy, quite interesting and well-played. They tend to be lumped in with late-70s post-Dead artists like Walnut Band and Mad Fables, but this is really its own animal. The fantasy cover promises a prog album, which this most definitely is not. Sometimes this album is listed as being by "Michael Barash". It's not entirely clear if Lady Chaser is the album name or the band's name. Almost move it into Real People area.
Listen : A1. Lady Chaser & B1. Stolen Child & A2. Alabaster Castle

"Renovations," a great LP by Mike Welch, released on Welchy Grape in the U.S. in 1981.
Scarce original Massachusetts Soft Rock / Folk Rock with some rural angles.
A remarkably solid collection of tunes that lie in that certain sweet spot between breezy folk and yacht rock. It’s the perfect soundtrack to smoke a joint to on a Saturday morning. I’m surprised this isn’t more well known, snag your copy before it blows up and the prices skyrocket !

This little folk psych gem has been recorded in 1973 by Gabriel Gladstar : Jim Zeiger (flute, percussion, vocals), Michael Gwinn (guitar, vocals) & Phillip Morgan (guitar, vocals).
Repressed by the original label Flying Guitar Records in 1981, this second press also featured a different cover.
Top shelf psych folk with tons of flute and trippy acoustic guitar. Really nice harmonies as well.

Obscure South Australian folk-prog from singer-songwriter, David Ninnes, who released this somewhat rare self-titled album in 1976 on the small South Australian 'EMS' label. Information about David Ninnes seems to be rather unknown - this album and one single taken from the album remains his only known creative output. The album is predominantly a singer-songwriter, folk-rock album with superb musicianship by the accompanying band and heavy use of moog, which consequently provides the album a progressive touch.

This is a white label promo vinyl private (Wizdom label) pressing of Dance Of Life by Dan Elliot from probably 1968 or 1969 but no later. I haven't listened to this one in a while but it's so unique that it's hard to forget. I mean that in a good way. This is dreamy folk psych with a psychedelic SSW style sound to it. It has a nice flowing sound to it. There is excellent light orchestration with mostly strings & some very nice flute at times. The vocals are incredible. They're haunting & maybe a cross between Johnny Arcesia from Arcesia & Wyatt Day of Ars Nova. There is a sense of urgency in his vocals & they are wrought with emotion. This is truly an outstanding LP ! (from popsike)
A truly incredible singer songwriter effort ! His vocals range goes from Sean Bonniwell, to Sal Valentino to Randy Monaco of The Mandrake Memorial. Very unique baroque arrangements and production elevate this even further. Can tell this will only get better with repeated listens. Seems pretty scarce too ! (reviewed by Alex Kerner on discogs)
Listen : B2. Falling Out of Love & B4. Get Out of My Sandbox
Don't miss this opportunity to add a great LP to your collection !

In the ending of the 70s he wrote songs in Montmartre, and collaborated with his friend Charlélie Couture.

Originally released in 1974 on Polydor Records, Mick Hanly & Mícháel O'Donnell’s Celtic Folkweave is considered one of the most seminal albums in the Irish folk music genre.
The album features some of Ireland's most well-regarded traditional musicians, including Mick Hanly, Mícháel O'Donnell, Liam O’Flynn, Matt Molloy, Donal Lunny, Tommy Peoples, Declan McNeils & Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill.
All of the musicians on Celtic Folkweave would go on to make notable contributions to the Irish and Celtic music genres, with Molloy, Lunny, Ní Dhomhnaill, Ó Domhnaill, and Peoples ending up in The Bothy Band, one of the most influential bands playing Irish traditional music in the 1970s.
