half a month of maydays

Curt Newbury was a flying instructor, a licensed hypnotist and a gifted singer-songwriter. This unfairly-neglected collection - the only album he would ever release -originally appeared in 1970 and makes its long-overdue CD debut here. Featuring superb backing from members of US psych heroes Kaleidoscope, as well as legendary session guitarist Mike Deasy (who contributes some brilliant solos), it's a varied and consistently enjoyable set that's sure to appeal to all fans of acid-tinged folk-rock.
