[ The Omni Recording Corporation / CD ]
Release Date: Monday 1 January 2007
In the mid-1970's we encountered a warmer and wiser Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan. Still producing fabulous oddball flourishes like The Cockroach Stomp and Cows, but now a little something new was brewing ...majesty and grandeur! Yes, witness the astounding, lush string arrangements on Carolina Sundown Red, Something On Your Mind and Just One More Song, and the fantastic philosophical-cowpoke "one-two punch" of Down To The End Of The Wine and Here Today And Gone Tomorrow. Lysergic Hayseed melancholia has never sounded so smooth. And what universe, exactly, did Molasses In The Moonlight rocket in from?!? Lovingly remastered, with five previously unreleased demo recordings (circa 1975) and an extensive booklet featuring unpublished photos and metaphysical commentaries from Jack Blanchard himself. All tracks make their first appearance here on CD. Times had moved on and Jack and Misty had moved with them, there are touches of disco here and the subtlest hint of The Carpenters on a few numbers, but remember ...nobody but nobody, has ever sounded anything like...Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan!!!
