David Callinan has said that he was shocked by the relative success of the album seeing as how it had little impact on release. “I was quite amazed when I found out that an album I made in 1972 has become a surprise underground rare hit and been sought after by fans and collectors all over the world. They are calling it folk-psych (whatever that is). A new wave Irish chanteur, Sean Tyrrell has also recorded some songs I wrote many years ago. Could be the start of a revival.”

Mike Deasy Sr. - Guitar

Mitch Greenhill - Guitar, Organ

Roy Blumenfeld - Drums

Clem Wretched - Backing Vocals

Sneaky Pete - Pedal Steel Guitar


This album saw the estimable Mark Spoelstra falling in line and delivering an LP in the vein of those landmark, first wave country-folk-rock albums that swept away whatever was left of the 'classic' American folk scene in the late 60s. A solid cast of familiar Nashville sessioneers are of course present here and the listener is treated to a very nice set that sits astride the more traditional approach of those folkies who rolled with the 'sound'. This sits nicely next to your Beau Brummels, Larry Murray, Everlys and Bob of course.

In the mid-sixties, when hippie culture was at its peak, Jaine Roman-Pitt, a 16-year-old girl influenced by Johnny Mitchell and Judy Collins, picks up the guitar. Having started performing at a club near the University of Michigan, she fell into hippie life and traveled through Israel to Greece, where she opened her eyes to a new world. It was a world of meditation that many musicians, including the Beatles, were deeply involved at the time.

Don Cooper was a promising folk-style singer/songwriter who enjoyed some modest success -- mostly on-stage -- during the early '70s. Coming up as he did amid the singer/songwriter boom of the era -- dominated by the likes of James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Loudon Wainwright III -- he got lost in the shuffle, perhaps because he was signed to a label (Roulette) that was positioned badly, in terms of image and distribution, to break an artist working in his particular genre. This album is his debut, and he would go on to release a couple more ....

F.B. Worster is one of those hippie kind of female folk-singers you can picture sitting on a coffee-house barstool with her sticker-plastered guitar and hair dangling in her eyes. She’s the real thing, too, singing of relationships with deep feelings that run the spectrum from panged whispers to bluesy wailing to impassioned outpourings sung with the conviction of Buffy Sainte-Marie.

It was a simple production, and a folk album, rather than a folk-rock one. The arrangements featured only Brockett's vocals, six-string guitar, twelve-string guitar, and dulcimer .....

This is another obscure folk LP from mr Ron Chrislock who invented a place called Eckanar : The Ancient Science Of  Soul Travel !!! Singer/songwriter folky sounds mostly in an Arlo Guthrie/Dylan vein, but with cosmic Eckankar-inspired lyrics. Eckankar is a religious movement founded by Paul Twitchell in 1965. The spiritual home is the Temple of ECK in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Eckankar is not affiliated with any other religious group. The movement teaches simple spiritual exercises, such as singing "HU", called "a love song to God", to experience the Light and Sound of God and recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit ..... Some scholars believe that Eckankar beliefs draw in part from the Sikh and Hindu religions, in particular the Radha Soami movement. However, J. Gordon Melton finds significant differences between Radha Soami teachings and Eckankar.

Mrs.Megan Sue Hicks said:

This album was a labor of love produced by the late Doug Rowe of The Flying Circus. We recorded in 1971, after hours, in the EMI studio in Sydney. Shortly after we finished recording, Doug and his band left Australia for a yearlong recording contract in Canada, and I had to head back to the US because her visa had expired. I don't know how it ended up with a WB label, but it's been good for bragging rights. Only about 200 copies were pressed and distributed in Australia and New Zealand.
