LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

With their roots traced in two legendary 60s garage bands, The Outcasts and The Stoics, Homer were without doubt one the best psychedelic/hard-rock outfits coming out from Texas, "Grown in U.S.A" was their only album, released as a private pressing in 1970. Rural psychedelic rock with early prog hints fueled by stunning lead/dual guitar, melodic vocals and occasional mellotron. Guerssen presents this collectable album in a 2LP expanded edition including their early singles - which are prime examples of 60s Texan garage-psych - plus previously unreleased studio demo tracks, recorded at the same time as the album. Newly remastered sound especially for this vinyl release, gatefold sleeve with detailed liner notes and rare pictures. 180 gram vinyl. "A Texas private press classic that spans several early 70s genres but still manages to sound like a coherent, personal work. A strongly played melodic rock trip somewhat like Mothers Tuckers Yellow Duck". ~Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives)."
