Jotcamp is a pair of art students with some vague principles on media gluttony. We don’t want to just sit back and consume all the tasteful art we come across, so we’ve made this blog to compile and comment on that delicious media to keep our TV, music, and movies habit from becoming a one way conversation.

Horses On A Stick - Judy Henske & Jerry Yester

Judy Henske & Jerry Yester - Horses On A Stick

This one of the albums I came out of the record store with on the weekend. The owner remembered a bunch of the albums I’d been pestering him for and had set them aside in a nook for me. It made me feel pretty awesome.

Judy Henske and Jerry Yester’s Farewell Aldebaran is wonderful bit of 60s strangeness. This married psychedelic folk duo, on Frank Zappa’s advice, recorded this 1969 record of Henske’s poetry put to a variety of types of music. The album bounces between psychedelic belters, hymns, and pop parodies while maintaining a death grip on listener’s attention through Henske’s deep and powerful vocals.

Raider - Judy Henske & Jerry Yester

Judy Henske & Jerry Yester - Raider

The guys down at the record store tried to say that Judy Henske & Jerry Yester’s Farewell Aldebaran had only one good track on it (Snowblind, which I’ve posted before) but that is all sorts of wrong. This is Raider, another American folk marvel.

This is one of those records that makes sifting through all this old music rewarding. I might even buy this LP later today.
