This is the first-ever CD reissue of The Farm Band's communistic classic from 1972 -- remastered in a 24-bit remaster. In the late 1960s, Stephen Gaskin, a countercultural icon, made a name for himself teaching a weekly class on the meaning of the psychedelic experience in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury District. At the start of the '70s, he led a hippie exodus to Tennessee, where he created "The Farm," just about the only successful hippie commune from that era still standing. This is the first album by Gaskin and The Farm Band, who fall somewhere between the Grateful Dead and Jethro Tull, performing long, psycho blues suites with good guitar solos, flute and violin (several tracks last more than eight minutes). They released four albums between 1972 and 1977, generating more country boogie, good-time, free-loving vibes. Housed in a handsome paper gatefold sleeve that precisely reproduces the original gatefold LP sleeve in miniature form. Includes liner notes and rare photos.
