HARDVEST FLIGHT
ONE WAY
\ USA - DESTINY RECORDS (PRIVATE PRESS)
Original 1971 first pressing ... obscure HIGHLY RATED California HARD GUITAR ROCKER UNDERGROUND "HEADS" LP who have found their direction.
a very solid release, this is a mix of soft and harder Christian rock with some psych influences.HARVEST FLIGHT – "One Way" was a bizzaro hard Christian version of the hard rock world, complete with IRON BUTTERFLY organ monsters (AZITIZ), DOORSish prog-blues dudes (AGAPE), and guttural, soulful JOE COCKER types (Larry Norman, Randy Matthews). Lots of these guys were listening to the very same stuff you/I love from that period, and more than a few of em had talent to spare. The better relics they left behind deserve a wider audience than they got from 1/8 page advertisements in backpages of The Hollywood Free Press Paper.
This LP sprung outta the very earliest X-ian movement stirrings centered around Costa Mesa’s Calvary Chapel, and the main guy here, Evan Williams, was a talented guitarist and all-around musician. Although this is largely a solo project it incorporates an intimate familiarity with all sorts of LA rock stuff around that time – Sunset Strip STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK harmonies, cool DOORSian organ/gtr blues, floaty MU-like acoustic passages – yeah reckon Merrell Fankhauser ain’t a bad reference point for the kind of wide-eyed musicospiritual exploration going on here. If only the lyrics weren’t so intrusive in their born-again boneheadedness (and believe me they are), we'd give this one a "9.5" outta "10" on the psych-o-meter. Although if you try and imagine they're singing about some little grey reticulan, since the music on this is quite fine, it'll work - indeed.
Disc does not really appear played. Jacket is nice and is signed by main songwriter. No splitting or writing otherwise.
