Description
GARY HIGGINS - RED HASH. 1973 NUFUSMOON RECORDS WMI 3673 STEREO LP. INCLUDES HTF LYRIC SHEET!
"Highly enjoyable smalltown hippie folk/folkrock with a professional sound, good vocals and songs full of hooks and strong melodies. A dreamy melancholy dominates, but the sharp arrangements and elaborate production keeps it from ever drifting off. Lyrics deal with dope and being in prison, which is a true story & probably what kept him off major labels. Higgins received a severe 2-year-9-month sentence for possession of weed, but had time to record this album shortly before going to jail. "Red Hash" is a nickname he aquired when being in custody. Underrated record. Do not miss this. One of the best loner folk albums. Apparently recorded before Gary went to prison, which gives it an extra edge. Higgins is a great songwriter, and has an appealing soft-but-gruff vocal style. The lyrics reach into some pretty unusual places, and the melodies and hooks are full of unexpected left turns. He even uses moog to nice effect here and there."- LYSERGIA.COM
