Otter Creek "Otter Creek" (Bolt Records, 1977) (LP)
(Produced by Frank Boulton)A "lost" hippiebilly country-rock gem of mellow yet twangy splendor. Attention all ye fans of late '60s Byrds, early '70s Grateful Dead, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, Greezy Wheels, et. al., this is an album you'll want to track down. Amiable, uncomplicated stoner twang by some longhairs from upstate New York... Many of the songs are of the looking-for-love-but-drunk-at-the-bar variety, with frontman Robert Presti singing lead on most tracks, as well as Tommy Sennes on pedal steel, and Bill Smith playing lead guitar and mandolin. The picking is decent though not dazzling, but the vibe is just right. A good-time band with a sincere country sound... Definitely worth a spin!
