I slid this slice of psych-folk into the latest Sidecar podcast (Transmission 11) earlier this week to a number of inquiries. The provenance of “Houses” is via the 2001 Orange Twin reissue of Elyse Weinberg’s 1968 self-titled debut. That’s Neil Young lending a hand on guitar, and his appearance reportedly marks the first recorded document of Shakey making use of his distinctive “Old Black” (Les Paul/Fender amp) set-up.
Have always dug this cut…thanks for marching it out. Any chance you still have that “This of the past” origin track comp that was on here like 5 years ago? I lost it to a dead computer and would love to have again.
