Propinquity - Propinquity (1973 us, divine ethereal folk rock)



Issued in 1973 on Colorado’s Folkways-shaped Owl imprint, Propinquity is the only album this Boulder group ever recorded. Steeped in the CSNY tradition of strong solo pieces knotted together by friendship, the album is a dreamy blend of folk and rock—rural, but with an urbane public school sensibility. The original 10-track album has been expanded to 16, with four unreleased tracks, and two others previously featured only on Owl’s 1971 Sing-In Boulder compilation.
