LP version.
Nick Garrie
was discovered in the late '60s while busking in the South of France as a backpacker. His legendary album
The Nightmare Of J.B. Stanislas
(TR 437CD/LP) was to be released in 1969 on the no less legendary French label Disc'Az. However, due to the suicide of the label's founder
Lucien Morisse
, only about 100 copies of this psych pop/soft rock masterpiece came into circulation. A cult album in the truest sense of the word which has been re-released several times, and rightly so. After that Garrie finished his studies and worked as a teacher, ski instructor, and owned a hot air balloon company as well. Gradually, a new generation of music fans and musicians came to appreciate Garrie's work, he was collaborating with the likes of
Duglas T. Stewart
(
BMX Bandits
),
Norman Blake
(
Teenage Fanclub
),
Francis McDonald
(Teenage Fanclub), and
Gary Olson
(
The Ladybug Transistor
) and releasing critically acclaimed albums in recent years. The latest find from the Nick Garrie cosmos is a session he recorded in Portugal at the beginning of the millennium:
Summer Nights: The Lost Portuguese Session
.
Nick about these recordings: "'Love In My Eyes'turned out to be our wedding song followed by three beautiful children. Of course, the music stopped. I was too busy with kids and working at my own balloon business. And then one summer we went to a lovely village in North Portugal where we picked tomatoes from the field. One night I went out to a '60s type bodega run by a fierce 80 year old with a big stick. He was watching me watch a guitarist and asked me if I played 'a little'. He pulled out a guitar from under the counter and I sang 'Deeper Tones of Blue' and I was home for the first time since I recorded
Stanislas
all those years ago. Sure enough someone asked me if I'd like to make a record and I said yes provided we have the Portuguese guitar which I'd fallen in love with. We recorded on the top floor of a block of flats with the local bus rattling round the corner. I slept on a bench and when we finished, I took everybody out for dinner . . . Well, the album went nowhere and lay on my shelf for 20 years until someone wrote in asking for it. I listened and loved that Portuguese guitar all over again..."
