Maffitt and Davies - A Kind Word

By request, for Oscar who was interested in the bonus tracks on the Rev-Ola reissue from 2010.
Psychedelic Americana.
From the album The Rise & Fall of Honesty. Short lived folk-duo Brian Davies and Clark Maffitt released this album on the Capitol Records Label in 1968.
(There is another (phantom) album, October in Oxnard released on the MAL Records label in 1978 which I tracked down - some tracks are up on my channel for the curious).
After working together for a number of years they got their initial break when folk singer Glenn Yarbrough spotted them playing at LA's Troubadour Club. Yarbrough initially hired the pair as his warm up act, but was so impressed by them, he brought them on as part of his touring band. This album features warm, intimate harmonies and beautiful psych-folk touches with exceptional guitar playing, tablas and tasteful orchestral arrangements.
This one is a well-crafted country folk-flavoured number with insightful lyrics.
