A country-rock band from Champaign, Illinois... Despite the evocative, rural-sounding band name these guys do set off a few it-was-the-'Seventies-man warning bells, mostly the presence of congas, flute, recorder and saxophone, none of which should be on a country record.
East Coaster Chuck McDermott cut a wide swath through New England's 1970s country-rock scene, touring widely and cutting two well-regarded albums with his band Wheatstraw. He later moved to California, where he met country-folk legend John Stewart, forming a musical partnership.

Rock’n’blues reigns supreme here, helped along by nasty, satiric lyrics and a gritty guitar sound. Perhaps accidentally, punkiness shines through a handful of tracks (like “Jealous”), though the primary impression this LP leaves is that of a cool, fun bar band. A good release.

He story of King Peach (not to be confused with the young Florida-based indie rock band formed in 2018) dates back to the late 1970s. It was a short-lived American rock band that made its mark on the Southern rock and hard rock scenes at the turn of the decade .Unlike many bands of the raw that featured a single frontman, King Peach stood out by sharing lead vocal duties among Copeland, McCutchen, and Haynes, bringing rich harmonies to their tracks. Their music fused the raw energy of hard rock with the melodic structures and grooves of Southern rock.
These funky Southern rockers sounded a LOT like The Band though maybe they stuck more to deep-groove Southern funk. Different album, still good.
"Lunar Blues" is loner folkrock with flute and 12 string. Some downer fuzz psych moves as well.
Sounds ten years earlier. These albums were recorded with local musicians including ex-Podipto members.
