Burns, Randy
The Exit And Gaslight Years 1965-1969
When it comes to post-Dylan psychedelic folk with acid-tinged dreams look no further than legendary '60s Greenwich Village figure Randy Burns. His beautiful string of albums released beetwen '66 and '71 on New York's mythical ESP-Disk are all you need if you're a loner folk fanatic. 'Of Love And War,' 'Evening Of The Magician' and 'Song For An Uncertain Lady' are the source, eerie acoustic ballads, folk-rock that travels wide and distant over melancholy flute arrangements and country grooves. 'The Exit And Gaslight Years 1965-69' collects all the best cuts from that an era, opening a crystal clear window on the inspiring work of Randy Burns. RIYL: Fred Neil, Ed Askew, Dave Bixby, F.C. McMahon, Mike Hurley.
