Headstone Circus (CD)
USA '68/70. This project turned out to be a real beauty. The band was formed in '66 by Glenn Faria (who also released some solo music on WorldInSound). This album was recorded in '68-70. On the first spin it reminds of CROSBY, STILLS NASH & YOUNG - 4 way street electric sides. It is so well-composed and performed. Also some of the better Neil Young albums might go in the same direction. But it has that extra weird touch. "Around '66, Nick Bonis, Mike Johnstone, Randy Pope, and I formed a psychedelic band. On Halloween night we went to an old cemetery, dropped acid, and spent a very strange night among the tombstones. The tombstones appeared to be melting and taking on animal shapes. Some of us saw spirits, and I'm not sure what I saw, but it was disturbing. Afterwards, we referred to that night as the "Headstone Circus". It seemed appropriate to call ourselves "Headstone Circus" as a band so we did". Enjoy this amazing westcoast album which was recorded in Washington D.C.
