STEVE & ED - "Dream Song" (Rare 1975 US Psych Folk masterpiece)


A surprisingly good folk-pop lp on the vanity label Century that I picked up recently due to my "leave no stock cover behind" compulsion. The notes say it was recorded in a Los Angeles area church, and it has a sort of cavernous low-fi sound quality that I quite enjoy. Very soothing Simon & Garfunkel-esque harmonies on most tracks, with sparse, acoustic heavy arrangements. Recorded in 1975, but tracks like "I Love The Rain" could easily pass for late 60′s to my ears. The majestic, spoken title track is nice as well. (from waxidermy)


Very great 1975 private pressed LP from Steve Hicks and Ed Rosiek.
A top fave of mine !

I just found a copy of this l.p. as well and couldn't be happier! It inspired me to coin the phrase "one take drone folk" (intended as a compliment). I featured it on a private press radio show I do in Milwaukee (archived on riverwestradio.com if you'd like the album in it's entirety. Click on Butterfly Mind in soundcloud, 12/18/2016 show).
