I recall owning this years ago and enjoying it (although apparently not enough to hold on to it. Too bad. The jacket was quite nice too.) <br /><br />I didn't know that it had been re-released. I look forward to hearing it again some 40 years later.<br /><br />Thanks.Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083074922230498894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-11805564827489733852013-07-11T06:00:56.980+03:002013-07-11T06:00:56.980+03:00Thank you very much Burt, for the detailed informa...Thank you very much Burt, for the detailed information, but most thank you for the music with Taos.Marioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825394886031470166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-79352754825712957442013-07-11T02:51:32.226+03:002013-07-11T02:51:32.226+03:00Oh, Burt again, the record album has these great p...Oh, Burt again, the record album has these great photos by Baron Wollman of Rolling Stone magazine on the insides of the jacket and the poster that shows Taos Pueblo, the house we lived in, and various people who were there. Too bad the CD did not reproduce those. I tried to find the photos that were published in several issues of Rolling Stone at the time, but the folks there have not heard of the 20th century. There is a great photo of my butt illustrating the award for Best Band - Creedence Clearwater - but it's still my butt.

We had rehearsed at Link Wray's cousin's <br />3-track studio in Maryland, where Elvis had recorded his first tunes, and we played a practice gig at the Executive Office Building, in D.C. Link showed me how he made his 'fuzz tone'. He had punched holes in the speaker of his amp with a pencil. Sounded very fuzzy. I preferred my Manny's Fuzz, though. This was still the end of the 1960s. Soon, Disco and cocaine destroyed the scene.

The locals would take pot shots at us and burned down the movie theater where we played a free gig for the residents. We were being watched and filmed by the FBI. We were all love and peace living in Nature's Glory, but the population around us was often savage. When we left to go on tour, the house we were living in was burned down. I'm much happier here in Silverlake.<br /><br />http://21stcenturystudio.com<br /><br /> Burthttp://21stcenturystudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-86555266010077884822013-07-10T06:01:27.588+03:002013-07-10T06:01:27.588+03:00I play in a band called 'The B2_s' with Ki...I play in a band called 'The B2_s' with Kit Bedford.

Blending acoustic and electric guitars with loads of tambourines.<br />The band Taos was actually a quintet pieced together by a group of young men who had moved to the legendary Taos (New Mexico)....As the hippie dream turned ugly at the end of the 60s, plenty of folks decided to get out of the city & get back to basics. <br />A huge commune in Taos, New Mexico called New Buffalo that was home to these fellas, and by 70 they were making laid back, slightly nerdy country rock with Byrds harmonies.<br />The album was from 1968/1969. Lost U.S. rural rock gem, originally released in 1/1/1969 pressing "red" label Mercury SR 61257 US (Promo copy) <br />Thx Marios.<br />adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-84097669157319570512012-10-09T09:42:12.465+03:002012-10-09T09:42:12.465+03:00Thanks for this wonderful album...Thanks for this wonderful album...kobilicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970501075601595268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-37137693450498255742012-10-09T05:36:01.221+03:002012-10-09T05:36:01.221+03:00I own this disc and have always loved it.

As many others band of that era, you can find the influence of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, sometimes Poco. Not the same level as these supergroups, but very pleasant to listen, deserve to be discovered or re-discovered. <br />For the vinyl maniacs, the original album was released in a beautiful gatefold cover with a poster inside. Testimony to an era when everything was possible to attract the eye of the buyer, despite the costs of produce. For those who possess the album of Sand - s/t (1973, barnaby records, another fine rural rock album in a CSNY / Poco feel), they will understand. Double disc with two one sided LPs for a single album, only for have the possibility to listen the record without interruption ( provided you have the adequate equipment ), unthinkable nowadays...<br />Thanks a lot Marios for sharing this fine album.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915743383170217027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-78251467012583349882012-10-08T22:48:15.895+03:002012-10-08T22:48:15.895+03:00Great surprise.
