CD digipack In 1969, the members of British beat band Unicorn listened to thedebut Crosby, Stills & Nash album and began transforming into acountry-rock outfit. They began recording for the U.K. folk labelTransatlantic, and a young producer was brought in (Hugh Murphy,who later produced Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” hit). This debutalbum from 1971 is a blend of country, folk and rock music —simple and uncluttered, mellow and soothing. In many ways it recallsearly Kris Kristofferson or Gordon Lightfoot with a blend of the Byrdsand the Band. Soon after this album’s release, the band wasdiscovered by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour who began sitting in withthe band and producing their demos. Unicorn’s “Uphill All The Way”is a long lost, but very worthwhile British folk rock classic. Track listing: 1. P.F. Sloan 2. 115 Bar Joy 3. I’ve Loved Her So Long 4. Don’t EverGive Up Trying 5.
