• Mellow, jazzy folk-pop
• Originally issued in 1971
• Features Wally Tax from The Outsiders
• Guest appearance from John Cale
• Explanatory notes included
This lost classic was made by the short-lived band formed by vocalist Wally Tax and drummer Leendert Busch from Dutch legends The Outsiders, together with guitarists David Oliphant and Jody Purpora. Showcasing a gentler sound, it’s reminiscent of the work of Tim Hardin and Van Morrison, and features John Cale (of the Velvet Underground) on viola and Richard Davis (who contributed prominently to Morrison’s Astral Weeks) on string bass.
