Exit Hand in Hand 1977
First time I heard this Arizona progressive country rock private press resulted in a jawdrop of silence. Not a shabby cut on here, with several stretching out into exceptional. 'Exit-Glory Road' for instance opens the album with a classic artsy progressive hard rock guitar overture. Several middle-ground rural acoustic songs follow bringing to mind the music of Horizon, The Way, and Sons Unto Glory. On the quieter side are a pair of dreamy soft-psych tracks:'Straight Gate' delicately utilizes flute and reverse guitars for an other-worldly texture, while the equally mesmerizing mostly-acoustic 'New Jerusalem' achieves a similar effect with trippy synths and wah-wah guitar. Greg Williams delivers some brilliant acoustic and electric guitar solos throughout. KS
