RELEASE DATE
8/28/2020
In 1968 an album by
The Family of Apostolic
was released on Vanguard Records -- and a lot of people consider that double-LP to be a great work of folk-rock and psychedelia. If songs from that album like "Won't Be Sad Again", "Dholak Gheet", or "Fiddler A Dram" made you howl for more you're in for a surprise now. After the Family of Apostolic album three of its key musicians --
Lyn Hardy
,
Jay Ungar
, and
John Townley
-- teamed up with bass player
Peter Smith
and drummer
Jim Willis
to form
Ocean
. This short-lived band was in a way the follow-up to John Townley's Family of Apostolic, in another way the starting point of Jay Ungar's songwriting career as well as a showcase for Lyn Hardy's incredible voice. But no matter how you want to look at Ocean, they recorded a wonderfully eclectic album in the summer of 1969 which remained unreleased until now. The album contains mostly original songs and it has influences which reach from old-time/bluegrass to Middle-Eastern music -- apart from that some of the songs even have a British folk-rock feel to them. Needless to say, the album is full of virtuoso playing and gorgeous female/male vocal harmonies. This LP is taken from the only remaining reference-copy of the final mix -- and even if it is not taken from the original reels (which are lost) it still sparkles with the crystal clear 12-track-sound that was typical for the Apostolic Studios in New York City. For anyone who needs some more credentials: Fiddler, guitarist and singer Jay Ungar for sure is famous for writing "Ashokan Farewell" -- before that he recorded albums with
Cat Mother
,
The Putnam String County Band
, and Lyn Hardy. Today, he plays in a duo with
Molly Mason
. Singer and guitarist Lyn Hardy recorded with Jay Ungar and The Putnam String County Band, these days she performs with
Skye Trio
and works as a luthier. Multi-instrumentalist and singer John Townley founded the Apostolic Studios after he studied guitar with
Rev. Gary Davis
and played with
David Blue and The Magicians
. Today, he's an expert on maritime folk music and plays as a solo act doing folk, blues, and original songs. A lost '60s folk-rock gem on vinyl for the first time... Includes insert with archival photos and liner notes by John Townley; also includes postcard with download code. Ocean blue vinyl; edition of 300 (hand-numbered).
