This one passed through the store recently, but it was a bit too rich for my blood. Some other lucky bastard walked away with it. I think it sold for $60.
“Released on Takoma records in 1970 (C1026) and produced by John Fahey. This self titled release is the only output of this rural community based in Indiana.
Led by Peter Aceves, it’s an excellent example of folk-blues with good vocals and strong instrumental parts. The songs are all original and some are really outstanding, notably Bumblebee, Bulldozer Blues and Maine. The liner notes mention that two other (unknown) groups used to play with Homegas: Greazy Green and Stoney Lonesome before their house was destroyed by fire. Homegas has never been reissued on CD and this rip has quite a bit of surface noise that doesn’t detract from the music at all. The playing is strong throughout and is rooted in pre-war acoustic blues and rural string bands while the vocals remind me of a U.S. Incredible String Band.” – Grown So Ugly
