Clayton F. Moore – Live From My Basement (Rare 1973 Canadian Private Downer Folk LP)

 

Original 1973 first pressing ... no more than a 500 private press and seldom seen. Produced in this cats basement, basically lost highway hippie loner delivering his wayward message backed by an interesting organ with effects, wah-wah type sound included. Absolutely falls into the "real people" bag - this is one comes from the core of that genre.

Clayton F. Moore was the keyboardist of Windsor Tunnel, a Canadian pop rock band who started out in Amherst, Nova Scotia as The Viscounts, and who changed their name after moving to Windsor, Ontario.
