Rex Holman

In 1970, several years before appearing on Star Trek, Rex Holman made this lovely psych folk gem. Here in the Land of Victory. When I introduced a friend to this record, I described it as an "evil Tim Buckley," and that's not only a super awesome thing to say, but also quite fitting. Apart from the country-ish closer I Can't Read My Name, this record is thoroughly claustrophobic and unpleasant (one song is entitled Listen to the Footsteps, need I say more?), although very beautiful folk. One of my best discoveries in 2006.
