Wilcox, Sullivan, Wilcox  1973  LP "An Album of Original Music"      on Goldust Records      Cat# LPS-163  STEREO

An album of original music by Michael Sullivan, Judy Wilcox, and Dennis Wilcox
Folky psychedelic rock with lush male-female harmonies.  Bright and brilliant finely
textured acoustic guitar work throughout.  Rocks at times, goes into hillbilly country
territory at others, presents as honest folk, and it's acid influence is pervasive yet subtle.

Detailed album reviews below.

Wouldn't be selling this one if I could afford to keep it.
Very rare and near-impossible to find private pressing from this New Mexico hippie group.



    Lauded in the Acid Archives:

      "An Album Of Original Music" 1973 (Golddust)

     Hippie folkpsych/singer songwriter with Eastern moves, housed in tremendous acid cover.
     There is a second LP, "Tomales Bay" (Goldust, 1975) which is not as good. Apparently some players
     here also appeared on the "I Love You Gorgo" LP from El Paso several years earlier.

  "interesting record, for a few reasons.  total guru-spiritual yogi
trip as soft as they come, barefoot, ethereal voices creeping in the
edges of your hair, steel guitar used like a thin ray of sunshine
gleaming on a cymbal, light splashing around the room.  seemingly
bogus seeker lyrics surprise and delight with cliches run backwards
and through a crystal pool.  it works somehow, that when you think
you know what you should hear, you've only heard a shadow of it really,
and the truth is clearly ahead in something entirely new and unknown.
all over it may be too transient to stick to anyone.  it is like breathing air,
and forgetting you are doing so.  however, "Snow on a Mountain" truly is
a stunning track, and a desert island pick for the genre - magical, dark,
mid-winter ennui from the depths of the reclusive preoccupied 1970s."

"A relatively nice psych folk record with a very slight xian message in the
lyrical content. Mostly acoustic guitar and vocal. About 50% of the record
feels average and commonplace, and the other half has sparkling moments
that pull the weight. "Snow on a Mountain" is a true beauty, and probably
my favorite track. The eight minute closer runs a bit long, but is also a nice
song to end. Terrific cover art."

"Heaped with praise in The Acid Archives.  They were totally right. 
A rare vanity/private press facemelter with NO covers!"
