NEW CD


Another private pressing from a band that recorded asingle record only to disappear without trace immediatelyafter.
Peter Stark’s Mushroom Country, with its unusual phallicmushroom artwork and “cosmic folk� groove, has becomean extremely collectable album of late.
Recorded at TheMike studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the album appearedon the Montage label in 1976, although for some reasonno catalogue number was assigned. The album features 8original works by Stark and his brother Ben, and aparticularly fine cover of Donovan’s Hey Gyp. Musically,the album takes us on a tour of genres, from theinstrumental Raga For Bayleaf, the folky You Make MeFeel and the blues of Searching. There is a real charmabout Mushroom Country, with its varied instrumentalaccompaniment to Stark’s vocals and fluid guitar and a“we’re having a great time doing this� vibe that pervadesthroughout. Hippie folk? Well, possibly, but none theworse for that. A highly enjoyable record.
