Hickory Wind Mr Man (1969) Psych Country Rock
Hickory Wind was a superobscure Indiana band who released one insanely rare album (allegedly only 100 copies were pressed ). Taking their name from the Gram Parsons composition on the Byrds album Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, Hickory Wind was very much of the west Coast ByrdsSpringfieldStone CountryMoby Grape countrysike school. They would evolve into the cult psychedelic band B. F. Trike. The oddest track on the album is also my favorite. Mr Man features a spokenword vocal backed by a DylanHighway 61style arrangement, occasionally emphasizing a tinkling piano. The vocalist delivers a heartfelt plea to the Man Upstairs, hoping for divine intervention to save our troubled world. By free will alone we re under his Hickory Wind: ALAN JONES bs, vcls MIKE McGUYER gtr, vcls SONNY PRENTICE vcls, gtr, bs, harp BOBBY STREHL drms If you like this, check out my blog:
