OREGON - Friends (1977)

 

In the last years we saw a revival of vinyls and a decline of CDs.

It is quite common to have flea markets or fairs every month or more often. Sometime I like to go there mainly to observe and to enjoy leafing through the old covers (this is the real pleasure).

Sometimes I carried away and buy some vinyls (even costs are now quite high).

It is the case of this "Friends " from OREGON dated 1977. (other posts on this blog). Here you can listen to a CD captured version from the web.

Oregon= friends

OREGON - Distant Hills (1973)

 

Back in the years this is an LP with great appeal to me. I remember the first time I listen to it. I was fascinated by the sound of OREGON and still in recent years I followed their so long career.

The two historical members of the group are Ralph Towner, well known guitarist, and Paul McCandless (oboe and other wind instruments), they introduce also world music component in their works with extraordinary results. OREGON release about 30 LP together and several solo or collaboration works. A great contribute to "jazz" (and not only ) music.
