New Haven, CT nutbomb Donald Hooker, who rumor has it went dressed like Jesus at all times, was a guitarist, singer & songwriter who got a gaggle of local yokels to accompany him on dobro, bass, synth, organ, piano, horns & drums. A perennial hit among the private press set that moves from
rollicking hard psych with weather sfx to hippie crooning with fun hotel band backing. There's also a few pop-psych near-ballads tinged with minor keys & jazzy percussion that makes for a low-rent Zombies vibe, and Hooker's edgy-but-quiet singing smacks of Lou Reed. Fuzz cranks up to bomber level for the tougher songs, and it wraps up with a big pro-Jesus pro-drug blowout complete with backmasking. Tracklisting: The Sea, Fall in Love, A Stranger's Smile, Weather Girl, This Thing, Forge Your Own Chains, I'm Leaving You, The Truth, The Bible, Falling Asleep.
