Red Hash
Drag City
FOLK
> 1973: In rural Connecticut, an album recorded by GARY HIGGINS and friends is released on Gary\'s own NUFUSMOON RECORDS. Immediately after the release, legal trouble halts all promotion and sales momentum eventually making the small pressing of \'Red Hash\' a heavily rumored and much soughtafter \"lost\" recording of psychedelicfolk lore.
> 2005: Well, thirtytwo years is a bit too long for an album like this to remain unheard by the masses...so DRAG CITY is honored to present the firstever authorized reissue of Gary Higgins\' psych/folk gem \'Red Hash\' mastered directly from the original master tapes (with 2 previously unheard bonus tracks) packaged with photos & artwork from Gary\'s personal archive.
> \'Red Hash\' features eleven haunting tracks of folkpop played on acoustic and electric guitar and arranged with percussion, cello, flute, piano, organ, bass and mandolin. This plus Gary\'s transcendent vocals bring to mind the perfectlydamaged vibes found in DAVID CROSBY\'s masterpiece of peace, love and paranoia, \'If I Could Only Remember My Name\' and the recently rediscovered and acclaimed \'Parallelograms\' by LINDA PERHACS.
> Bonus tracks include \"Don\'t Ya Know,\" an early 80\'s home recording, and \"Last Great Sperm Whale\", a 1975 studio track featuring Gary and three of the \'Red Hash\' players.
> \'Red Hash\' is held in very high regard by current torchbearers/tastemakers: ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, JOANNA NEWSOM, WFMU, DEVENDRA BANHART, BEN CHASNY, SUNBURNED HAND OF MAN, WHITE MAGIC, and ESPERS plus us and eventually, you
> \'Red Hash\' is featured in HANS POKORA\'s \'3001 Record Collector Dreams\' book.
