Description
Recorded right after the Youngbloods broke up, and released on their own Raccoon label, 1972's Mid-Mountain Ranch was the sole solo album from the band's multi-instrumentalist Banana a.k.a. Lowell Levinger. Except that it wasn't really a solo album, because the Bunch included Joe Bauer and Michael Kane from Banana's former outfit!
So, Mid-Mountain Ranch really was a Youngbloods album sans Jesse Colin Young; and the absence of their former front man allows Banana and his Bunch to stretch out with some bluegrass and jazz licks alongside their patented folk rock sound. It's something of an early alt-country cult classic, reissued here on CD for the first time ever in a limited mini LP sleeve edition that re-creates the original packaging right down to the label on the CD. LIMITED EDITION OF 1000!
