BAMBOO
(Elektra EKS-74048)
1969
A California group led by Dave Ray, who was previously part of the blues/folk trio Koerner, Ray and Glover. Produced by Allan Emig and recorded on the Feather River in Keddle, California, their only album contains a mix of folk, blues, rock and country highlighted by four excellent tracks: Girl Of The Seasons, Blak Bati Chari Blooz, Sok Mi Toot Tru Luv, all with inventive organ and guitar parts and Keep What Makes You Feel Nice, a progressive blues a la Butterfield Blues Band. All their material was original and the use of strange instruments (rocksichord, Leslie guitar, tack piano) provide some unusual effects. As usual with Elektra, the sound quality is excellent.
Dave Ray later released solo albums and Sanford "Sandy" Konikoff, who had previously played with Gentle Soul, became a session drummer, notably working with Leon Russell, Grinder's Switch and Ben Sidran. Brendan Harkin later played in Papa Nebo, Free Beer and Starz.

Within a grasp accessible out of a dump container, among with unmentionables (unless your high, or maybe ironic). Pleasant psychedelic pop of the times, quirky with smooth finesse, - and their outfits! The cover suggests that they seem a little out of territory. The pic on the back cover reveals it:
“Are we really recording here?”
“All the others cut me off with ‘no vacancies!’”
“Look at all the weed!”

A laidback Canned Heat, bent backwards, sort of. Some skips n pops n blisters, and it smells. But, what the hey. A gem! Well, gotta go, my cat is pondering the why’s in life by pounding my window glass.
