Len & Judy - Folk Songs/Sweet & Bittersweet [Prestige Folk]



Len & Judy - Folk Songs/Sweet & Bittersweet - Prestige PR 7355 - Prestige Original Pressing, Blue Trident Label, Mono

Judy Novy - Vocals
Len Novy - Vocals & Guitar
Dwain Story - Guitar, Dobro & Harmonica
George Edwards - Bass

Recorded - [not listed on sleeve, unknown, Chicago, 1964?]

Produced by Samuel Charters
Recording - [uncredited, but 'RVG' is in the vinyl matrix]
Cover Design - Don Schlitten
Cover Photo - Raeburn Flerlage

Released - April 10, 1965

This is a bit more promising, a wild and 'out there' acid/hippie/Chicago folk side by the brother-sister combo of Len & Judy Novy! Love it!

This side also has one of the most striking and attractive covers in the Prestige catalogue taken by veteran Chicago blues/folk scene photographer Raeburn Flerlage , but is anybody else creeped out by the sibling dueting on 'Jackson'?

    Thanks for posting this.

    FYI, bassist George Edwards went on to found the great Chicago acid rock combo H.P. Lovecraft and was a powerful vocalist in his own right).
