RARE Original 1968 first pressing still in original factory shrink wrapper... well here's a lesser seen one that would be a good collection addition IF only the chance were given ...despite the bands name, STONE COUNTRY deliver the right sounds of the sixties that most collectors of the genre look for...hope to find...

Stone Country were a Los Angeles California band that only existed for a little less than 2 years. Steve Young had headed out to LA from Alabama in 1963, looking to secure a recording contract. The group was founded in 1967 when a West Coast management company were in the beginning stages of putting together a new 'rock' group. Steve Young was chosen as lead guitarist and vocalist while the rest of the group’s lineup looked something like this: banjo picker player Don Beck, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Doug Brooks, drummer Dennis Conway, vocalist and bassist Dann Barry, and fuzz-tone guitarist Richard Lockmiller.

The album, while not a lost classic is very solid and thoroughly enjoyable. It was clear from the beginning that Young was the group’s most distinctive songwriter and vocalist. Magnolias, a Young original, was one of the lp’s highlights and a unique mixture of Southern soul and swamp rock that only he could deliver – a very gritty vocal performance too. Woman Don’t You Weep was more of the same, another good Young roots rocker with a driving beat and an attractive string arrangement. Two raga rock gems, Love Psalm and Mantra have nice fuzz guitar work and could easily fit in on the Byrds classic Notorious Byrd Brothers lp.

Other tracks hit more of an soft West Coast melodic sound (’Lizabeth Peach and Everywhere I Turn – both very good) while Why Baby Why  and Life Stands Daring Me show off the group’s ruralrock roots. The latter is a particularly imaginative slice of psychedelic country-rock with its soaring vocals, glittering guitars and wild banjo picking.

Stone Country hits all the right bases that were common in 60’s American rock music: psychedelia, country-rock, folk, blues, airtight harmonies, adventurous arrangements, and great musicianship. This record is well worth a spin.
