1969 ORIGINAL HIPPIE BAND WITH WEST COAST HARMONIES
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
\ USA - Rainbow CAPITOL ~ SKAO 2956
Rare, little seen, original 1969 US Capitol rainbow label vinyl LP album featuring Deborah Harry on vocals, tamboura, tambourine & finger cymbals.
Yes, a young Debbie Harry heads this Lp that Blondie guitarist and boyfriend Chris Stein called this a "folkie baroquey" group, and that pretty much sums it up, although better than the smirky remark suggests, after all, Wind In The Willows was a hippie band with male/female harmonies and West Coast inspirations -- so of course, it's about as far from Blondie as you could imagine!
Debbie's voice, while not yet exciting, is noticeably pleasing in the background harmonies and her lead vocals on the albums highlights (Djini Judy and She's Fantastic and She's Yours) sounds very pure and pretty; in the latter song we hear a hint of the campy irony that would later characterize her singing in Blondie. Debbie Harry's "lost years" began right after this recording was made. What exactly happened is still shrouded in mystery. Apparently the drummer, who was Harry's boyfriend, died of a drug overdose, and when the band broke up, Harry thought her musical career through. Even she doesn't seem to remember what she did for the next few years ("I was crazy--completely out of my mind. I wanted to blank out whole periods of my life. I used to cry and cry.") What is known is that she took drugs to "self medicate", worked as a Playboy Bunny for awhile in New York, then ran off to California with a multi-millionaire ("these forty year old guys with guns and infections all over their bodies..."), ran back home after a month, and--apparently in emotional tatters-- moved back in with her parents where she did battle with her drug dependency and paralyzing fears about trying again. Less than a decade later, she beas her demons and dramatically metamorphasizes into Blondie, kicking off a career that continues to this day. Think of this Lp as a chance to peek inside her young head for clues to the mystery that began with this melodic hippie group.
