Long revered as a trade secret amongst record dealers and collectors Simones music is one of the great secrets of the home recording revolution that took root in the late 1980s. Ohio born Al Simones combined his love of 60s and 70s psychedelic rock music with vintage instruments and produced four highly collectable handmade albums between 1992 and 2009. All of them are filled with intense psychedelic guitar music that invokes the energy and passion of his influences - including Jimi Hendrix and Phil Keaggy of The Glass Harp - whilst also possessing the mystery and spiritual intensity that surrounds 70s US private press legends such as Jeffrey Liberman and Mystic Siva. Simones albums have been beyond the reach of most record buyers for many years due to their limited numbers. For those who have never heard Simones mind blowing music its a revelatory treat.
We could barely find out anything about this guy on the internet, but what we do know, is this is some seriously tripped out, druggy and damaged folk flecked wild psychedelia.
All in all, some seriously freaky, far out, kick ass private press psychedelia, great acid drenched psych fuzzed rock, with looping phased backwards guitar, with some folkish elements but mostly freaked out YaHoWa 13 style jamming.
