Description

 

THE ALBUM IS SEALED!

USA - METROMEDIA RECORDS - MD 1001   

Carolyn Hester an American folk singer and songwriter who hung out with Bob Dylan in New Yorks Grenwhich Village scene and was a figure in the early '60s folk music revival. By the late 1960s, unable to succeed as a folk-rock artist, she explored psychedelic music as part of the Carolyn Hester Coalition.

The album is a fine 1968 West Coast-style hippie fuzz folk rock/pop affair with Hester singing in a decidedly non-folky acid psych/garage/hardrock style. Solid all the way through, this album should appeal to any fan of Neighb'rhood Child'n, Birmingham Sunday and similar semi-light trips. The opening "Magic Man" is well known due to its inclusion on the Hippie Goddesses compilation.

Once you get charmed by Hester's little girl lost voice, 1968's "The Carolyn Hester Coalition" is surprisingly enjoyable.  With excellent backing from The Coalition (bassist/keyboard player Dave Blume, drummer Skeeter Camera and lead guitarist Steve Wolfe), material such as "Magic Man", the fuzz guitar propelled "East Virginia" and "Half the World" offered up some excellent psych/rock numbers.  Sure, Hester's folkie roots were occasionally on display ("Tomorrow When I Wake Up"), and on tracks like "Big City Street" she bore a resemblance to Lulu.  Those were the exceptions rather than the rule.   Besides, Hester deserved an extra star for the album cover's revealing blouse.  

THANKS FOR LOOKING, HAPPY BIDDING!
