The other musicians on the albums were no less versatile. Lovecraft’s Case of Charles Dexter Ward would have sounded like. Feldthouse, in particular, had an unusual coarse, deep voice, which was very distinctive – the ultimate Feldthouse vocal can be heard on Oh Death, on Side Trips, a curdled vocal that is surely what the mysterious Mr. They both handled most of the vocals too. Lindley was principally lead guitarist, banjo and fiddle player, while Feldthouse played various exotic instruments like the oud and saz, as well as guitar. Sol Feldthouse grew up in Florida and eventually found his way to California. He also recorded banjo for a number of regional labels and worked with people like Randy Boone, Glen Campbell and, inevitably, the New Christy Minstrels. He was a well-known musician in Southern California, where he was a member of a healthy scene revolving around McCabe’s guitar store (which had associations with Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as well). Lindley was primarily responsible for getting the band together. Much of their uniqueness was due to the only two constant members, from their formation in September 1966 to their departure four years later – David Lindley and Solomon Feldthouse. When they entertained the wide-eyed customers of San Francisco’s Fillmore and Avalon Ballrooms and Los Angeles’ Ash Grove, they frequently employed flamenco and belly dancers onstage. Other highlights included Nobody – a one-off collaboration with Larry Williams and Johnny Guitar Watson, psych-soul with Egyptian flavours, and lengthy instrumentals like Taxim, Sefan and New Blue Ooze (whose bass part features one note plucked for nine minutes!), which are surprisingly gripping. The album was recorded with a startling arsenal of instruments, including banjo, fiddle, doumbek, mandolin, viola, saz, bouzouki, dobro, vina, autoharp, oud and clarinet. Like a mind-boggling combination of Summer of Love acid-rock, goodtime saloon music and a Middle Eastern jam session, Side Trips, the 1967 debut album by the San Gabriel Valley (California) – based outfit, stood out, even in the eye of the psychedelic hurricane, as something altogether different. Much favoured by fans like Jimmy Page (who loved the guitar interplay and sonic ambition), their four albums for Epic from 1967 to 1970 were unbalanced but intriguing objects.
