the foot o'wr stairs

The second and final privately issued LP from 1977 by this folk rock band , this edition includes reproductions of the rare promotional inserts. Crooked Oaks music leans towards the traditional approach of folk but the haunting atmospherics, mystical flutes, and pervading air of melancholia create a magical sound somewhat akin to Silly Wizard.
