Pat's People - Silver Rains Afar (Excellent 1976 US Private Folk Psych LP)

 

Pat's People were an exceptional UK/Irish Folk band with several quite rare private press LPs:

"An Irish Night At The Gaelic League An Irish American Lounge"(1974) ... much more traditional folk style but still raw and homemade vibe. They add a very specific feeling and approach to traditional Irish folk songs. Less psychedelic but worth listening for context or if you love Irish music.

"Silver Rains Afar" (1976) LP.... probably the best and most psychedelic, several beautifully dark folk songs with psychedelic undertones accompanied with some jigs/reels. Amazing LP in my opinion.

"Some Say The Devil's Dead"(1980) ... Another more traditional but still great LP. I think this was their last recording as Pat's People.

Listen : A6. December Sequel

The whole album : Silver Rains Afar

 

Some very great tracks on this one !
My favourites : A6. "December Sequel", A5. "The Bogs Of Sean O Riva", B2. "Ellen Vannin", A2. "The Haughs O' Cromdale", ...
An excellent album in my opinion !
