4. Smiling Men With Bad Reputations - Mike Heron [1971]



Good people to hang out with...

gardeners
hermits
mountain  men
smiling eccentrics
men who build their own homes

children

parents who learn from their children
loafers
amateur  musicians
serene  psychotics
animals
men who look at sunsets
men who walk in the woods
beautiful  women
cooks
men who sit by the fire
wanderers
men who make bread
couples who have been in love for years
unemployed  men
smiling men with bad reputations

 - Timothy Leary, Psychedelic Prayers 


Heron takes flight (yes) with spirited assistance from Townshend, Moon, Lane, Cale, Winwood, Page, Thompson and Dr Strangely Strange. Mike rocks out, blowing away the whimsy, sitars and patchouli clouds without trampling the legacy underfoot. Intriguingly, his wayward voice is more at ease with folk rock belters than the slower acoustic ISB fare. 

A good bunch of songs to hang out with for a while, and one to cherish.

I remember reading the Psychedelic Prayers as a young teenager and the line about seeking "smiling men with bad reputations" always stuck with me, words of good advice.

had no idea either this album existed, a bit of a find to say the least - many thanks.
