Jeff White in Grey Lord, Canada 1976

Again, the kind of self-released LP that is just shockingly good considering how unknown it would have been back in the day, 44 years ago, half a lifetime now.  Clearly a labour of love, I note the following info:

Jeff is Baha'i as explained on the liner notes, his gentle nature is apparent in his songs, beautiful male and female vocals, lovely acoustic and electric guitar, percussions, flute, violin, celesta, drums, synth in a couple of tracks, etc. all of the tracks were written between 1970 and 1974, they were copyrighted in 1976 and released in i'm sure a very small pressing the same year , the lp ranges from soft and fragile folk/psych to heavier progressive folk and even in the Eastern territory with the amazing 5 minutes plus "Tahirin", lot of trippy percussions, guitar and bass, along with the progressive "Merchant of Shiraz" and the awesome ending track "Grey Lord" .

White, Harold “Jeff”, in his 70th year passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on January 12th, 2019 at University Hospital in London, Ontario. Jeff will also be greatly missed and always remembered by family and friends. His musical talents will live on and provide peace and many memories for all that knew him. A private family burial was held on January 16th at Oakland Cemetery, Glencoe, Ontario. If desired, donations to www.charitree-foundation.org in Jeff’s memory would be greatly appreciated.

It covers a lot of ground indeed but its well-composed acoustic style is just priceless.

Consider the Merchant of Shiraz:

Halfway through the song it gets weird and electric in the oddest way, but just so wondrous to behold for us who love this kind of progressive space oddity.

Note that this rip, if you've heard the digital album already, is superior to the previous one you might have earlier and have been acquainted with.
