Free Music Notes for Gather In The Mushrooms: British Acid Folk Underground 1968-1974
Free Music Review: There is a glade somewhere
Hit: 5 Stars
As a teenager growing up in Britain I was very fortunate that I was able to buy what were termed "sampler albums", where a particular label took tracks from various albums and packaged them at a very reasonable price for customers to avail themselves of some of the new music of the time. Given that the times were in the last few years of the '60s, than there were a proliferation of new bands, new artists and new music as a thousand flowers bllomed.
Island Records were at the forefront of such albums, You Can All Join In and El Pea being particular favourites. I must confess to spending substantial sums on the albums that I was introduced to and do not regret that expenditure to this day.
This album seems to be a part of a trend, particularly in Britain, whereby sampler albums with a selection of music from yesteryear are compiled to aquaint a whole new generation of music lovers to some of the lost classics of the past. These appetisers contain some very tasty morsels indeed and this is no exception. The inclusion of some well known names can be a little tiresome but it must be understood that the fame is to whet the appetite for more.
I would have liked to see a Pete Frame family tree connecting these artists as although the liner notes are comprehensive a diagrammatic exposition would have made for hours of delightful study and suggestions for further listening.
For me, each and every track on this album is a little gem, although I felt at the conclusion that I had merely finished the first course. It was a surprise to find only a single disc when there must surely be material enough for two, at least.
If I had to pick out particular tracks I would certainly join the consensus about Trader Horne, a vinyl album once owned but lost in the midst of bedsitter images, but Shirley Collins demonstrates a magisterial hold over her craft and John Renbourn, as always, a joy to hear.
Buy this album, for you and for you children and your children's children.
