Description
Beginning as a duo in Edinburg, Scotland, acoustic musicians Robin Williamson and Clive Palmer sought to stretch the boundaries of contemporary folk music from the start. Composing much of their own material rather than relying solely on the hidebound traditional repertoire, they were spotted by Elektra Records Joe Boyd while playing in the Crown Bar and, duly impressed, he signed them to the label. After adding additional guitarist Mike Herron, they traveled to Londons Sound Techniques Studio in May 1966 to record their self-titled debut album with Boyd producing. Incredibly, they completed recording in two days, with Boyd instructing them to focus on their original compositions. The resulting album, featuring only three traditional tunes among the sixteen tracks, was quite unorthodox despite its standard instrumentation of guitars, mandolin, banjo and fiddle. It was a pioneering example of what later became known as psychedelic folk or psych-folk and it was an instant hit with adventurous music consumers. Bob Dylan singled out Robin Williamsons October Song as a particular favorite and the LP won Folk Album of the Year in A1. Maybe Someday A2. October Song A3. When the Music Starts to Play A4. Schaeffer's Jig A5. Womankind A6. The Tree A7. Whistle Tune A8. Dandelion Blues B1. How Happy I Am B2. Empty Pocket Blues B3. Smoke Shovelling Song B4. Can't Keep Me Here B5. Good as Gone B6. Footsteps of the Heron B7. Niggertown B8. Everything's Fine Right Now
