farm

CD in jewelcase with a 12-page booklet. Farm recorded this wonderful album in 1971 in Southern Illinois, USA. The band consisted of Del Herbert (guitars), Gary Gordon (guitars and vocals), Jim Elwyn (bass and vocals), Steve Evanchik (percussion and harp), Roger Greenwalt (organ and piano) and Mike Young (drums). Of course there are many good albums from that time that need to be released again, but this album really stands out. This album by FARM may very well be one of the best US releases on the label, right next to jewels like BRIGADE (also from 1971). There are killer dual fuzz guitars in every track, fantastic underground rock songs with an Allman Brothers vibe and Canned Heat boogie, speed driven rhythm, rooted in westcoast and blues rock and guitar-propelled numbers à la Santana.
