VERY RARE 1968 ORIGINAL

Leonda

Woman In The Sun

\ USA - (yellow) - EPIC RECORDS - BN 2683

M- clean vinyl ....

Original 1968 first pressing on the yellow Epic Record label ... this is a mega-rarity on the label and seldom ever turn up - first copy we've seen in many (many!) years ...

A totally-forgotten/unknown album of bluesy-rock, with some acid folk tracks led by a mellow acid-headed woman who called herself 'Leonda' ... yeah, it's a pretty weird bluesy folky album with Indian themes… pretty bizarre for a major label...

Though it was released on a major label (Columbia’s Epic subsidiary) in the late ’60s, Leonda’s sole album, Woman in the Sun, is extremely rare, and little known even among fans of the '60s underground rock era. Leonda is Native American, and sometimes uses prominent vibrato in her vocal phrasing. Actually, however, she’s almost as similar to Annisette of Savage Rose or perhaps some of the gutsier woman singers from late-’60s West Coast rock bands, ala Jopin/Big Brother Holding Company. Leonda has an appealing, somewhat raspy voice, her folk-bluesy material (with backup help from members Adam Mitchell and Skip Prokop of the Canadian psych rock band the Paupers) is impressive. The songs are with a vaguely hippie uplifting vibe. The superb backing from Skip Prokop, Adam Mitchell and Brad Campbell ( The Paupers ), as well as long-time Muddy Waters Bluesband sideman Sammy Lawhorn, Ted Irwin and Brad Cambell (The Paupers, Janis Joplin), the album features haunting acoustic tunes and Native American-themed lyrics that are sure to appeal to fans of female hippie rock. Sad-tinged folk workings with backings are well-done, but never too professionally polished! The mighty Paupers help out with a good deal of the instrumentation, and backings are usually gentle, but with some slightly complicated phrasings, coming off quite differently given Leonda’s slightly bluesy vocal approach. For many songs she keeps this bluesy style alive, with a mostly rather gently soft-rock moodily vibe. But there also a few more folkier, or calmer blues-of-heart personal songs, like “When I Lived In My Grandmother’s House”, with a more sad bluesy folk flavour, with a gifted voice for showing emotions in the song. A musically more unique and distinctive track is “Peace And Pipes” a song with several musical references to native Indians, in the singing improvisations, with an open tuned guitar that adds more psychedelic parts, and a drum arrangement that clearly refers to a pow-wow drumming. Also “Zozo My Bird” continues just slightly this reference..before definitely returning to more direct bluesy folk associations.
