Brazda Brothers - Brazda Brothers (1973 Galt, Ontario) | Folk Rock / Psych Folk | Full Vinyl Rip

The Brazda Brothers self-titled debut came out in 1973 on Dominion Records (LPS-93077), a Canadian label. Andy and Bystrik “Gin” Brazda were brothers who emigrated from Slovakia to Galt, Ontario in the early 1970s. This is their only album. Reportedly recorded in a single six-hour session at RCA Studios in Toronto. The band they assembled around them included Fred O’Quinn on rhythm guitar, Mac Babb on bass, Vinston Dookie on congas, Jim Skriboleit on drums, and Vince Romano on Cordovox - a keyboard-accordion hybrid that gives the record part of its unusual texture. Andy and Gin wrote and arranged everything. The liner notes were written by the brothers themselves. What they made sits between folk rock and acid folk - acoustic guitars up front, soft harmonies, lyrics about nature and the sun and civilization. The Slovak accent comes through on the vocals in a way that gives the whole thing an off-center quality that’s hard to place. “Gemini” pushes harder with fuzzed electric guitar and a subtle Eastern European flavor that surfaces nowhere else on the record. It received airplay in Canada, the US, Austria, Japan, and eventually back in Slovakia. Almost nobody heard it at the time. Void Records reissued it on vinyl in 2001. 🎧 This is a full vinyl rip from my personal copy. 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Walking In The Sun 03:04 20th Century 07:13 Blooming Flowers 11:26 Share With Love 14:13 My Little Girl 17:08 Calm River 19:44 Gemini 23:27 Nature 26:32 Civilization 29:29 Soldier In A Battleground 31:56 Lonely Time 34:11 Your Kingdom 🎸 Sounds like: Rodriguez Neil Young Tim Hardin Relatively Clean Rivers 🎧 Vinyl Finds Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9oSXuMGglp1N8SlbZUEtCJ7 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ #BrazdaBrothers #FolkRock #PsychFolk #VinylRip #VinylCommunity #CanadianRock #VinylPiper
