Tim Dawe
Straight Records 1058 (1969)
A fabulous unknown LP by an equally unremembered artist. Dawe's recording of "Junkie John" caused a lot of problems for FM stations because the FCC wasn't really thrilled with drug related songs at the time!
Dawe was later in a version of Iron Butterfly. This is a gem. Zappa was his mentor.
ENJOY!
What a great recording! Nothing like it! Judy Henske is an amazing vocalist with a deep beautiful raspy voice. She is a folkie from way back! Jerry Yester is a fabulous arranger and musician who replaced the LATE Zal Yanovsky in the original Lovin' Spoonful. Together they recorded one of the most eclectic LPs of all time! It is one of the earliest LPs that featured electronic music, but don't let that fool you. It's got folk, jazz, rock and just about everything else you can think of-- and it comes off perfect! This recording has not been released in the states as far as I know.
