Rare 1969 Prog/Psych/Folk Album on Double LP!
Includes Six Previously Unreleased Tracks!
Long-lost and much-sought-after private press from western Massachusetts band Forest. A distinctive acid-jazz / crossover AOR / soul sound - think Mother Earth jamming with Tim Buckley. This re-issue comes with six previously unreleased tracks.
Forest was a rarity at the time in a band that consisted of two drummers, Gary Stevens and Bob "Rox" Girouard. The band was a well seasoned touring band who shared the bill with the likes of The Fabulous Rhinestones, The James Montgomery Band, Zonkaraz to name a few. The album covered various styles from blues to acid-jazz with the aim of securing a major record deal. Many of Forest's alumni have gone on to highly successful careers in music: Jim Kimball relocated to Nashville to work alongside Faith Hill and Reba McEntire; Bill Holloman with Danny Gatton, The Gatlin Brothers, Nile Rodgers and Chic, The Fab Faux and Bruce Springsteen; and Wes Talbot founded a music production library called The FRESH Music Library.
