Description
FOLLY'S POOL : Folly's Pool LP (Century [USA] 44675) 1977.
Record is excellent with minimal superficial sleeve scuffs only. Cover is excellent with light ring wear and a bit of wear to the top seam.
Signed by two members (Doug Carlson and Jeff Carlson) on back.
Nice original copy of this unique California psych/prog LP. Considering that the Acid Archives review (see below) mentions both the Eagles and Jethro Tull, our expectations were not high, but this is actually a pretty cool record.
From Acid Archives:
"These guys tried hard to eat their cake and have it too, as they mix Eagles-style 1970s westcoast with musically advanced UK guitar-prog and hope that noone's going to complain. Few people probably will, as they do both styles in a surprisingly adept way for a vanity label band, with nice country-flavored melodies and strong vocal harmonies on the LA cowboy stuff, and adventurous and technically impressive guitar arrangements on the prog moves. Possibly originating from Jethro Tull, the end result recalls another Tull-influenced band, Denmark's great Culpeper's Orchard, although Folly's Pool don't quite reach that level of consistency and inspiration. Third Estate is another possible reference, although the dreamy psych x-factor magic of that LP isn't really to be found here. Still, I enjoy this LP quite a bit, and as a merger of two seemingly opposite musical styles it's a rare experience."
