Description

Original US pressing on JOYEUSE GARDE RECORDINGS JGR 001 U.S. LP from 1980. The record and the sleeve are in EX+ to NM condition. Has the inner.

Critically acclaimed album featuring Kemper and Bekah Crabb that combines progressive rock and medieval influences.  In addition to the usual lineup of guitars, synths, bass, and drums, instruments such as dulcimer, psaltery, bagpipes, and recorder (to name but a few) are present here.  One of the songs, “Dwelling Place,” got some airplay in Texas (where the group was from) when the album first came out.  Both Kemper and Bekah sing; Bekah has an especially lovely voice.  Jimmy Hotz (mastermind behind the great prog album Beyond the Crystal Sea LP) co-produced and engineered the record.  Cover art by George Werth, who also did Glass Harp’s Song In the Air cover.

I could describe this further in my own words, but I’ll let Scott and Felberg do that for me, as reviewed in The Archivist:

“Spectacular art rock from Austin, Texas band featuring Kemper and Bekah Crabb…[Previously] known as ‘Redemption’…by 1980, their artistic vision had grown a hundred-fold with this album of what they termed ‘apocalyptic rock’. The striking cover art as well as the music is full of imagery of Tolkien, wizards, dragons, castles and winged ships. An incredible variety of instruments were employed…(37 in all!), all described on the elaborate fold-out insert that’s bordered with runic letters. Heavy at times (Morning’s Anthem) but mostly moody and melodic, often with a renaissance or medieval quality to it...Creativity par excellence”.

You get the idea. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this RARE GEM!
