Terry Brooks & Strange – To Earth With Love

This release is bubbling with trippy, spacey hard psychedelic rock with a clear nod to Hendrix. This comes off as a garage band project that is uneven and has a bit of an outsider art feel. Over-heavy on effects at times, vocals that are a bit off at times - yet it has this charming feel, sincere and believing in itself despite its flaws. It reminds me at times of Wolf Zendik and Father Yod, or Wayne's World, or the kid next door after a bit too much acid.

The early records were self released and fairly hard to find but sometimes turn up in local record bins around Orlando and Florida where the band used to gig locally. It's the kind of gem I love to stumble across in a bargain bin and take a chance on, only to later find it's a cult classic.
