Bert Keely - Take Me Home 1979

Originally released privately in 1979, 'Take Me Home' has become cherished by collectors
of 70s post-psychedelic music and is now available on CD for the first time. This dreamy
trip into the mind of a young lover makes delicious and inventive use of guitars and analog
tape effects. Close your eyes and listen closely.

Totally unknown and quite great west coast private press. self recorded in various bedrooms in palo alto, california. essentially a solo endeavor with one friend adding excellent drums to a few tracks. floating, introspective loner folkrock with psychedelic flashes. filled with beautiful layered guitar tapestries enhanced by understated but persistent use of phasing, backwards effects, echo, fuzz, reverb, etc. really magical post-hippy west coast guitar action for sure. the vocals are warm & deep and float through the music perfectly. primitive by nature for sure, but the home production job is top notch. solid all through, and 2/3rds of the tracks are truly amazing. serious grower qualities upon repeated listening, with many sweet subtleties. the stark b&w cover art captures the urban loner mood perfectly. recommended. Thanks to Chris.
