Just great stuff, wish I heard more of these gems, but love the ones I have.
Hickory Wind need reissue in proper way too. Smokin Willie 72 is way cool too.
Heard Stone Gardens guitarist is still alive and plays, should ask if they have Live stuff from that monster heavy era, that would kill.
Iota was a disapointment though…Heavy yes But songwriting not up to scratch to say. Theres loads of this generic Heavypsych outhere released by shithouse European RE labels.
