The Underground Failure album is best known for showing the unusual talent of John Holm for the first time. Only a year later, he released the classic ”Sordin” which properly launched his irregular and often intriguing solo career. Other members also became well known although not as musicians. Lasse Ermalm became a record cover designer on many a label's payrolls, and Stefan Wermelin later on became one of Sweden's most prominent radio producers.

Line Up / Musicians

Cathie Stewart - Guitar, Vocals


She channels the spirit of Anne Murray and sings tales of Springhill. She grew up in Alberton, just outside Hamilton, Ontario, and at a tender age, she recorded two albums in 1974-75, including "Country Downs." Then, she resurfaced in 1983 with the remarkable funk track "You Got Your Magic Working," which she released independently. After that, she seemed to vanish, until she made a cameo in a Country Music International article in June 1996, titled "Cathie Stewart - Whatever Happened to…". It turns out she and her husband Brian sought refuge in the pristine air of Whitehorse, Yukon.-Robert Williston

Line Up / Musicians

Scott Key - Guitar, Vocals


A startlingly great mid 70s loner folk record by Scott Key – with some of the finest, most artful fingerstyle guitar we've heard on a self-recorded album from the period – and a really strong record that would be right at home on the Takoma label! Recorded in Colorado by Key himself, who plays acoustic guitar and bottleneck slide on songs that reveal a masterful acoustic guitar player, as well as creative ear for drones and post-psych effects. Occasionally has vocals, but it's a largely instrumental effort – and a brilliant one!

Two young guys from South Carolina offer us a rural Private Press album with several original compositions, most of which feature the banjo. Good enough production with musicianship, beautiful voices and a competent enough playing from the two young artists to serve the album ....(Horatius Rex)

Mr Vollie McKenzie said : Recording hasn't been all fun. I remember walking into the studiofor the first session feeling real proud, thinking that Dan and I had surely arrived. We worked eight hours that session and of the four songs that we recorded only one felt like a take .... and we are not real sure about that one ...

Real Name:Win Schell ... He played the southwestern Ontario folk circuit in the late 1960s and early 70s. His two albums never became best-sellers, but they maintained enough of a following to make the leap to the digital world and on the want list of many record collectors who seek out original vinyl pressings of his first 2 albums. The second album, 1976's City Wilderness, features more conventional folk. It's easily recognized by its cover, a Robert Crumb-influenced drawing of downtown London, Ontario with Win and various real-life city characters transformed into cartoon animals. Roger Baker, a friend of Win's, created the image.

Well known for his participation as a guitarist on Bob Dylan’s “Blood On The Tracks” 1974 Minnesota recording sessions. Kevin Odegard has released two albums; The self-titled Kevin Odegard on Wooff (1971) and Silver Lining on ASI Records (1975). Silver Lining is a well polished album compared to his debut album. Widely influenced by country, folk and pop music of the 1970’s, Silver Lining is a fine example resembling mid 1970’s singer-songwriter music. It is supported by the famous Bob Rivkin (Bobby 'Z') and David Rivkin with a production credit by David Zimmerman.

Mellow jangly sunshine California folkies somewhere between Suncast (without the studio gloss) and The Everlastin’ Living Jesus Music Concert. Five guys and one girl with warm harmonics and simple backing from acoustic guitar, bass and percussion. At their best when the rural vibes come out, like their cover of Country Faith’s ‘Two Roads’ that features a nice guitar break Songs like ‘Family’s All ‘Together’, ‘All’, “Temple Song’ and ‘Teach Us Dear Lord’ are fine examples of their gentle acoustic folkrock style. Also a couple male solo performances with just guitar accompaniment, “Hey You’ and ‘I Must Seek Him’.

Even better follow-up with five different bands. Of particular interest are the songs from Kemper Crabb’s pre-Arkangel folkrock outfit Redemption: ‘Liberation Song’ and ‘Anti-Satan Boogie’. Likewise Hallelujah and Master/Peace both shine with that same guy/gal electric folkrock that typified the times. Icthus Team does better than expected for being a 30-member ensemble. And Evan Williams of Harvest Flight (the ever-present man on this label) has a couple ballads heightened by his trademark psychy ambience. Excellent cover art of ship at sea depicted in blue and maroon with psychy lettering. (Ken Scott - Archivist)

LRY uniqueness as a religious organization was that it unites young people in the age usually from fourteen to nineteen years old who participated in the activities of the church together with adults present at the same time as mandatory mentors consultants ....

Perhaps the only album by Sally Cowan is a gem of the American independent female acid folk. Even though it's a self-produced disc that isn't even obvious, the quality is high enough that it's no wonder even if it comes from a major folk label. The recorded songs are half of the original and the other half are faint, and it is a cover of famous SSW songs such as Jessie Winchester, Joni Mitchell and Guy Clark

The Old Dog bluegrass band probably got a chance to release a Flying Fish record thanks to the presence in the band of dobro wizard Mike Auldridge, whose own recordings were some of the most popular in the progressive bluegrass genre of the time. When the group itself failed to make much of a splash, the recording was later reissued with the dobro picker's name added in front. While Old Dog makes a lie of its name with progressive intentions from time to time, the type of cutting-edge "newgrass" picking that Auldridge can be a master of is not really the theme here....

Mr. John Edward Prine from Maywood, Illinois, USA was a great American bluegrass and country singer-songwriter and guitarist. A member of Chicago's folk revival, mr. Prine credited film critic Roger Ebert and singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson with discovering him, resulting in the production of Prine's eponymous debut album with Atlantic Records in 1971. The acclaim earned by this LP led Prine to focus on his musical career, and he recorded three more albums for Atlantic. He then signed with Asylum Records, where he recorded an additional three albums. In 1981, he co-founded Oh Boy Records, an independent record label with which he would release most of his subsequent albums ....
