Damon - Song Of A Gypsy 1969

Some collectors hit the ceiling over this album, perhaps inspired by how the price of an original copy has risen through the ceiling. However, it's ordinary psychedelic rock music, not quite as strange or exotic as some word-of-mouth would imply. There's plenty of searing fuzz guitar, soul-searching, and probing lyrics with a mystical gauze, and, frankly, minimal melodic variety throughout the ten tracks, which have a slight Eastern flavor. It's not a mainstream record by any means, but it's not stunningly weird or innovative either. The album has been reissued on CD by Damien himself, and has also been given a limited edition vinyl release by Little Indian in Germany. The LP reissue comes with a four-song, 7" EP that includes the pre-LP "Song of the Gypsy"/"Oh What a Good Boy Am I" single. It's ironic that another song from the EP, the Byrdsy "I Wonder Why" -- the most "normal" Damon cut -- is the best thing here. Sometimes you do get more when you reach for less. allmusic.com
