Folk/Country

Mt. Airy - Mt. Airy

1970s bluegrass infused folk/rock. A very solid record, but didn't get much attention. Geronimo Jackson is a fictional band from the television series Lost, but if they were real, I imagine this is what they'd sound like.

Fuchsia - Fuchsia

Thanks to Stu for giving me this.

Alot was happening music wise in 1971, which was probably why this self-titled release by the Tony Durant lead folk-rock band Fuchsia was so ignored. Combining progessive rock music with folksy British pop, the album is incredibly easy to listen to and doesn't require much effort, altough the listener is rewarded for it if he so chooses.

A defining feature of the group is their three-woman string section, comprising of cellist Madeleine Bland and violinists Janet Rogers and Vanessa Hall-Smith (the trio also performs the angelic backing vocals heard throughout). The string work isn't anything jaw-dropping, but it's refreshingly different

Mountain Ash Band - The Hermit (UK)

Another MB inspired post. I believe it was Comus who gave me this. Many thanks to him.

Until it's recent emergence on the internet, this was (and if you aren't well connected, still is) a very sought after record. It's easy to see why, it's a gem.

Through a series of narrations and songs, it tells the heartbreaking story of a man named Job. Unfortunetly for him, his story isn't a very happy one. A truly unique and enjoyable recording, this will be a crown jewl in your collection.
