A personal fav of ours at TVD Cleveland—These Trails have ridden the wind from the Honolulu hills (circa 1973) to the black-hearted traders circles (circa the millennium) to today. Their one album fuses musical traditions of the nations in service of a young idea: assumptions of the eternal, couched in the personal.
These are songs of and for all kinds of folk, created and offered in all innocence. It is, and was, music of the then — and it can never happen again. But, you can grab the wax from Drag City now!
