KEITH CHRISTMAS

with CALVIN 'Fuzzy' SAMUEL, CONRAD ISIDORE, ROGER POWELL 

ROD ARGENT, ADRIAN SHAW, IAN WHITEMAN, etc.

A popular figure on the British folk circuit, Keith Christmas emerged with a rock-orientated style 

on his 1969 debut, Stimulus. Reminiscent, in places, of Al Stewart, the album featured support 

from Mighty Baby as well as Matthews Southern Comfort’s pedal-steel guitarist, Gordon Huntley. 

Fable Of The Wings and Pigmy continued this direction, during which time Christmas toured 

as support act for many of the top bands of the day, 

including the Who, Ten Years After, King Crimson and Roxy Music

Keith Christmas was a strange British folk-rock singer/songwriter to evaluate, one who 

by this third album was quite good at developing interesting, pretty-yet-downbeat musical 

backgrounds for his songs, but not particularly good at other parts of his craft. 

On the more baroque arrangements here, he sounds rather like a British folk-rock variation 

on the sad orchestrated pop of the early Bee Gees. That might sound weird, but he pulls it off 

fairly well on "Traveling Down," "Timeless and Strange," "Evensong," "Poem," 

and "Forest and the Shore," the last of which is decorated by some particularly creepy 

pseudo-Gregorian operatic backup vocals......The relatively happy-go-lucky acoustic guitar busk 

of "Spanky" and funky rock of "The Waiting Grounds" and "Song for a Survivor" sounded 

a little out of place in this company, though they weren't bad tracks on their own terms. 

For all its faults and inconsistencies, however, 

Pigmy's certainly the best of his first three albums...(AllMusic)
