JEFF BAKER - Loner (1971 German Prog Folk on BASF)


Maybe the most underrated album I know !
Absolute fantastic and intensive Psychedelic, only issued in 1971 on german BASF.
Loner, progressive Folkrock album, partly more rocking, partly more folky, with English vocals, highly recommendable.

ROB PEARSALL & FRIENDS - Abiding in Him (Great 1977 US Private Xian Folk LP)


Rob Pearsall and his fellow Californians deliver a pleasant simply-arranged friendly homemade blend of light, medium and heavy sounds, all more or less within that general category of west-coast melodic rural piano-and-guitar folkrock.
Maybe a bit like Parable in that respect.
The group’s quieter side focuses on piano ballads and solo acoustic songs, while diversions like the country rocking ‘Free In Jesus’ proudly plug in the guitar for a more aggressive edge.
Attractive cover illustration of woodland brook setting seems befitting of the mood.
(The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)
