A Dream A While Back (Vinyl)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 EP from the underground Folk singer/songwriter. Way back in 2005, Drag City reintroduced his 1974 Psych-Folk classic Red Hash to listeners around the world. Since then, Gary has played shows around the U.S., something that he was unable to do in the mid-'70s when Red Hash came out, due to incarceration on trumped-up drug possession charges. It was a good feeling, playing his songs for people who were moved by them, so Gary decided to record some new ones, and in 2009, his first new recordings in over thirty years were issued as the album Seconds.. His sound was neither revisited nor updated; natural evolution had occurred and the songs were unmistakably Gary Higgins; older, and different, yet unchanged. Fresh from his trip to the present, Gary is back in the past for this EP of songs, all of which were written and recorded circa '70-'71, in the same time that the songs that would form Red Has took shape.
