red hash
dc295 cd
unable to fly
1973: in rural connecticut, an album recorded by gary higgins and friends is released on garys own nufusmoon records. immediately after the release, legal trouble halts all promotion and sales momentum eventually making the small pressing of red hash a heavily-rumored and much sought-after lost recording of psychedelic-folk lore.
it didnt take too long
2005: well, thirty-two years is a bit too long for an album like this to remain unheard by the masses
so drag city is honored to present the first-ever authorized reissue of gary higgins psych/folk gem red hash mastered directly from the original master tapes (with two previously unheard bonus tracks!) and packaged with photos and artwork from garys personal archive.
i pick notes from the sky
red hash features eleven haunting tracks of folk-pop played on acoustic and electric guitar and arranged with percussion, cello, flute, piano, organ, bass and mandolin. this plus garys transcendent vocals bring to mind the perfectly-damaged vibes found in david crosbys masterpiece of peace, love and paranoia, if i could only remember my name and the recently re-discovered and acclaimed parallelograms by linda perhacs.
bonus tracks include dont ya know, an early 80s home recording, and last great sperm whale, a 1975 studio track featuring gary and three of the red hash players. |
