Here is the amazing Tom Rapp with Pearls Before Swine......some really beautiful (& strange!) psychedelic folk.....lost gems, if ever found! 
(BTW, (unfortunately not included here) the album's intro is an 1890 recording of the surviving trumpeter of "Charge of the Light Brigade" battle: Trumpeter Landfrey)....the song that follows is Tom's most enduring & beautiful song "Translucent Carriages", & then, "Images of April".
An anti-war tune with trippy, nightmarish whispers that include "only the dead have seen the end of war".
(Re)Discover and enjoy....

Just broke the seal on my original David ackles LP. "American Gothic". Acclaimed as the Sgt. Pepper of folk.
For anyone that doesn't know his work, the closest I can get is to say his piano based, rock, gospel, folk, is often orchestrated in the modern American musical style of Aaron Copeland.....his story telling songs are a bit like Leonard Cohen.....Vocals in a soft Cohen style but that's missing the mark, because he was regarded as having one of the "finest voices ever heard" (Rolling Stone 1970).
Elvis Costello sighted Ackles as the major influence in his music during his induction to the Hall. Elton John's "Tumbleweed Connection" is dedicated "to David (Ackles) with love".
On his first LP he was backed by Rhinoceros. All are great.
After his passing due to lung cancer in 1999, he was eulogized by
several major UK newspapers....but not much mention over here in his homeland. Another reason to be grateful to you all in the UK that seem to pick up our fallen music heroes and restore them to their rightful place of honor.
Cheers!

Ultimate Spinach. the album is " Behold & See" psych-rock, trippy. this is their 2nd release, 1968. their 3rd album, "The End Breed", is also good. i'd skip their 1st keyboard dominated one.
