Headstone Circus

Headstone Circus was formed in 1966 by Glenn Faria (who also released some solo music on World in Sound). This beautiful album was recorded between 1968-1970, and on the first spin it is reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - four-way street electric sides. Well-composed, well-performed, and in line with some of the better Neil Young albums, with an extra weird touch. Around 1966, Nick Bonis, Mike Johnstone, Randy Pope, and I formed a psychedelic band. on Halloween night we went to an old cemetery, dropped acid, and spent a very strange night among the tombstones. The tombstones appeared to be melting and taking on animal shapes. Some of US saw spirits, and I'm not sure what I saw, but it was disturbing. Afterwards, we referred to that night as the 'Headstone Circus.' It seemed appropriate to call ourselves Headstone Circus as a band so we did. Enjoy this amazing West Coast album which was recorded in Washington D.C.
