Weird Scenes Inside The Birdhouse
Lysergic Hayseed Melancholy and Cowpoke Philosophy...
In the mid-1970's we encountered a warmer and wiser Jack Blanchard and Misty
Morgan. Still producing fabulous oddball flourishes like The Cockroach Stomp
and Cows, but now a little something new was brewing ...majesty and
grandeur! Yes, witness the astounding, lush string arrangements on Carolina
Sundown Red, Something On Your Mind and Just One More Song, and the
fantastic philosophical-cowpoke "one-two punch" of Down To The End Of The
Wine and Here Today And Gone Tomorrow. Lysergic Hayseed melancholia has
never sounded so smooth. And what universe, exactly, did Molasses In The
Moonlight rocket in from?!?
Lovingly remastered, with five previously unreleased demo recordings (circa
1975) and an extensive booklet featuring unpublished photos and metaphysical
commentaries from Jack Blanchard himself. All tracks make their first
appearance here on CD.
Times had moved on and Jack and Misty had moved with them, there are touches
of disco here and the subtlest hint of The Carpenters on a few numbers, but
remember ...nobody but nobody, has ever sounded anything like...Jack
Blanchard and Misty Morgan!!!
