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.
