Homestead & Wolfe - Our Times. CD. (Anopheles Records - ANOPCD8) What a find! Originally released in 1975, this lone and unknown privately pressed LP is an artifact so lost in time that it appears in no known catalogue, discography or list of rare records (not even the remarkable Fuzz, Acid and Flowers!!) A stunning folk-harmony group with 2 female lead vocalists, 1 male and a chorus of superb harmonies throughout. This is original, rich, melodic folk-rock country style, the harmonies and arrangements recall the Mamas & the Papas and the Carpenters, however, there's little sunshine in the albums themes which are refreshingly dark. Top flight studio musicianship from Hal Blaine, Ben Benay (Goldenrod, Darius), Al Casey, Ray Pohlman and one of the most renown pedal steel guitar players Jay Dee Maness (Buck Owens, Byrds' "Sweetheart of the Rodeo"). Includes 6 unreleased tracks along along with the original 9, plus a well-researched and detailed 16 page booklet. Don't let this one slip under the radar again, it deserves a bit of sun on its face.
