ONCE UPON A TIME...Tarkio
BREWER & SHIPLEY Tarkio (Kama Sutra,1970) - Folk rock |
Whilst they have much in common with similar vocal groups of the time, they differ in that they were not based in sunny California but preferred the Midwest, settling in Kansas City. Therefore the style is a little more rootsy than the smoother fare from CSN and the other LA balladeers which sets this album apart and for anyone not familiar with their work, opens a door into a whole new world of early seventies country /folk rock.
They are inextricably linked with the counter-culture due to an unexpected hit One Toke Over The Line with drug references which was released after rave reviews of live show performances. As is so often the case, after receiving criticism as subversives to American youth from the US vice-president of the time, Spiro Agnew this had the counter effect of making the song much more popular.
