SLEEPY SUN
If you like older prog you would even like them. they are popular in the current indie LA scene but i think they should be looked at from prog lovers also. they combine 60's style psychedelic folk while incorporating really heavy blues based rock changes. Please check them out |

If you haven't heard them, I suggest Comus' First Utterance and Spirogyra's Bells, Boots, and Shambles. |

Last Round - Holy Modal Rounders
The Fugs - The Fugs Have A Marijuana - David Peel and The Lower East Side These three albums are either Folk Rock with Acid rock influences or Acid rock with Folk influences. Either way, great albums which I higly recomend. |

Indeedy-doo! Comus - First Utterance is a must. It is regarded as the mother of all acid/psych/prog folk albums. Then Spirogyra should be the next natural suggestion, but as someone pointed out before, St Radigunds has more acid than Bells, Boots and Shambles; however, they are both essential. Another option would be Jan Dukes de Grey's Mice and Rats in the Loft - now, I don't usually do this (i.e. recommend albums I'm not particularly fond of), but in this case I know I'm in minority regarding this album. You might find it very enjoyable. Then as a last recommendation, for something lighter, try Midwinter's The Waters of Sweet Sorrow. Enjoy, and let us know what you think! |

I'd suggest the following: Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (1968) Probably the mother of all albums in this genre. Comus - First Utterance (1971) PA favourite, and rightly so. Absolutely amazing record! Clive's Original Band - Moyshe McStiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart (1972). Shamefully neglected on PA, but a prime example of acid folk - it really doesn't get much better. The personal and emotional involvement displayed on this recording is really unrivalled. I actually prefer their 1971 record "Spirit of Love" to this one. But the arrangements on Moyshe.. are a little more adventurous and diverse and thus a better example of 'acid-folk' - Spirit of Love is more 'traditional'..

Thanks for the suggestions..
I am definitely checking out First Utterance.. & the rest of the suggestions too.. But isn't there some sort of an essential band for this sub-genre. I always thought that was the best way to start. Thanks again. |

Probably not the Top 10 but these are all very good acid folk albums worth checking out (couldn't find great videos for all of them but you'll get a taste anyway).... Comus - 'First Utterance' Carol of Harvest - 'Carol of Harvest' Pearls Before Swine - 'The Use of Ashes'
Perry Leopold - 'Experiment In Metaphysics' Mellow Candle - 'Swaddling Songs' Smell of Incense - 'Through the Gates of Deeper
Slumber' Stone Angel - 'Stone Angel' The Third Estate - 'Years Before the Wine' Faun Fables - 'Family Album' |
