its not really "psych" or anything. more breezy folk rock. but i dig gary usher and i like the whole vibe. and that is the right price. might not tell you to get it for ten or up. but its a pleasant record. smoke 'em if you got 'em.

this album is way cool. 1970 jesus rock on epic. fat beats. sometimes sounds like crosby, stills, & nash with santana's rhythm section. cool organ. great production. and it doesn't sell for much. just checked and one went unsold for 10 bucks recently on ebay. groovy west coast vibe. if you see it somewhere cheap and its in nice shape give it a whirl.

ha! coke escovedo plays percussion on it. explains everything...
(my copy has a promo stamp on the back so i can't see who did what.)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
oh and its 1972 not 1970. according to the red telephone blog coke was in a studio down the hall and decided to sit in with overland stage. a happy accident!

jeezus so many records i need to hear. i gotta get off that blog. sometimes i think i should just buy nothing but 60's and 70's stuff just to narrow my searches and make things easier for myself. why do i have to be a new wave and latin freestyle and electro fan!!??
― scott seward, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 00:45 (thirteen years ago) link
and punk and power pop!
*pwr pp* that should be my new chillwave skinny tie band.

got a nice visit from my fave w. virginia powerseller today. great guy. so weird too that i always marveled at the amount of stuff he put on ebay and the kind of stuff he sold before i ever met him. he is all about 60's and 70's psych and rural rock and all that. he was making me drool telling me about his haul this trip. travels for weeks with his wife to shows and stores. my dream life. when the kids can fend for themselves and i can hire someone to watch the store i'm doing the same damn thing.

listened to clips on amazon. sounds nice. kinda more what i had in mind for the west coast thread. like a groovy America or something. have you heard that Batteaux record? reminds me of this.
― jaxon, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't have the batteaux album. i need that one. love the harmonies on the overland album.

randy sparks - hazy sunshine (mgm - 1971)
pretty sure you can get this album for nothing cuz nobody knows how cool it is. amazing production courtesy of michael viner. fattest bass and drums on a country/folk pop record i've heard in many a moon! breezy, spacy, expansive. randy does the solo thing well. his voice is great and i promise it won't remind you of the new christy minstrels or the back porch majority. not that there is anything wrong with randy's former groups. the guitars also sound wonderful on here. just the sound in general is all ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. niceness.

and just to be perfectly clear, this is NOT a rock album or some mindfuck psychfolk album. it's a country pop record. and the two side closers do have back porch style vocal choruses. with phat drumming.
― scott seward, Sunday, 15 May 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
Big thanks on the reco for this one, Scott. Really is some stellar production

this album is SO good and nobody cares. great 60's popsike with some westcoast vibes. don't get why it isn't reissued and sold to byrds and zombies fans. there is no bottom to the 60's and 70's barrel.

plus, the production is so cool. its a great sounding record. get a clean copy if you see one. a mint minus (supposedly) copy just sold on ebay for ten bucks. ten bucks! thus, not really in demand. and its not like its a record you see every day. but for some reason it doesn't have a bigger reputation.
