Good Album
Andersson, Christer | Sweden | 12/10/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"(Originally on Elektra Label 1966) This is called "The First Psych Album" According to Pat Kilroy's liner notes he was influenced by writers like Herman Hesse, Aldous Huxley, and George Gurdjieff, making it literally interesting to this book. All compositions were by Pat Kilroy and the album was produced by Peter K. Siegel and supervised by Jac Holzman. Several of the musicians came from New York City so perhaps Pat Kilroy did too. Best known amongst the supporting cast is Stefan Grossman (earlier in Even Dozen Jug Band) and Eric Kaz (Bear, Blues Magoos and Happy & Artie Traum).



The album contains a mix of folk, strumming blues and some Eastern moves with lots of tabla. Kilroy had a very improvised, unusual vocal style that pre-dated Tim Buckley's similarly avant garde approach by two years. The final track, Star Dance, would have been at home on an Incredible String Band album. The best tracks are probably the dreamy/trippy folk songs, but the album is a highly original work and adventurous listeners will appreciate much of its content.
