I think this whole psych folk field is more Eric's expertise than mine, but I just heard Pari Zangeneh for the first time and figured I would upload some albums and links and see what you guys have to share along these lines.
First, Pari Zangeneh.
The Spanish record label Ks reissued her 1976 album entitled The Series of Music for Young Adults in a run of 500 CDs and 350 LPs in the past month. Beautiful soft female vocals with a determined edge being backed by organs, flutes, and choruses of modernity juxtaposing the traditional elements of the Iranian folk songs comprising nearly half the disc. She was blinded in a car accident in '71 and devoted her life to helping others with disabilities. Her service aligned with her love of folk music: common people and their challenges. She is still living and performing and has worked as a soloist for orchestras around the world.
Looking into Pari Zangeneh lead me to the second and third posts.
Second: Mellow Candle
Nothing like three Irish teenage girls to crank out the prog rock jams! This album, Swaddlins Songs, was their only release, and probably costs a billion dollars on vinyl these days.
Third:
CAN AM DES PUIG - Book of Am. All you need and more HERE
And if anyone can find the audio for this, an upload would be much appreciated.
Fourth:
Finally, Jola Rota by Joakim Skogsberg
I grabbed this because Aquarius couldn't believe that it had been reissued because it was so rare and all. It's not bad. It was on Tiliqua so I figured it was somewhat reliable. Turned out to be worth the listen. Crazy Swedish farmer combining Buddhist meditative chanting with traditional Swedish folk. Droney, stoner, hippy folk.
