Description
Homestead & Wolfe - Our Times LP. Originally released in 1975, HOMESTEAD & WOLFE's lone and unknown privately pressed LP is an artifact so lost in time, it appears in no known catalog. A folk-harmony group based around the United Methodist Good Samaritan Church in Cupertino, CA with 2 female lead vocalists, 1 male, and a chorus of superb harmonies throughout. Rich melodic folk-rock country style, harmonies, and arrangements recalling The Mamas & The Papas and The Carpenters, though the themes are dark. Top-flight studio musicianship from Hal Blaine, Ben Benay (Goldenrod, Darius), Al Casey, Ray Pohlman, and one of the most renowned pedal steel guitar players Jay Dee Maness (Buck Owens, Byrds' 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo'). A highly unusual and strikingly original blend of talented young vocalists, top-quality session players, and engineering. Limited edition vinyl reissue (only 500 made) from the Anazitisi label.
