Amory Kane - Just To Be There (1970 us, excellent acid folk psych, 2012 korean remaster)



This was the second (and final) album recorded by the US singer songwriter who spent the sixties based in London, it's comparable to someDonovan, although slightly more psychedelic, with eerie effects and a ghostly other-wordly feel. Also includes contributions from fellow psychedelic traveller Tim Hollier with Fairport Convention's Dave Pegg on bass duties.
