October Country - October Country 1968


The only studio album from Los Angeles. The group was founded in 1968 by singer, musician and composer Michael Lloyd, supported by well-known producer Kim Fowley. In 1968 came three singles groups and self-titled album. Two singles "My Girlfriend Is A Witch" and "Cowboys And Indians" were popular in Los Angeles, but did not go on an all-American market. The same fate awaited LP. Especially because the musicians themselves were fairly weak technically - according to some sources, after recording the album Michael Lloyd locked himself in the studio and personally rewrote all the musical instruments. Shortly after recording the album the band was dissolved and Lloyd organized a group of "Smoke". On the first album "Smoke" one of the most memorable things was just "My Girlfriend Is A Witch" group "October Country" ... Simple and cute little album with a clear influence of favorite Lloyd "The Beatles" and "The Beach Boys".
