From the people who brought you Hillbillies In Hell…
Sitars, Fuzz Guitars and LSD sugar cubes…a Lysergic collection of Forgotten Nashville.
Hayseed Moog Hoedowns, Psyche Teen Meltdowns and Wild Weed Compounds.
All cut on Music Row by serious Nashville players in comfortable suits.

Eight Miles Higher than a Haystack – you’ll witness melting, Dali-esque cakes, Apocalyptic Flower Power driven by banjos and fiddles, Floating Bongo Lullabies and Crazed Nashville Knock-Off Ersatz Exploitations.
Something was in the water…and Music City USA record executives were happy to drink it. Gongs crashed, mandolins soared and for a short time Nashville studios cranked out Arresting Angst-Ridden Backwoods Anthems, Reverberant Redneck Reincarnation Revelations and Acid-Laced Hillbilly Protest Folk.
Some velvet morning…a long, long ago – Country Music met the Long-Haired Wastrels by the river and birthed these 16 Transcendent Hillbilly Nuggets.

Years in the making – ‘The Now Sound Of Nashville’ turns on, tunes in and drops out to that brief Ergot Reign when Pedal Steel met Psyche Out and the Hayseeds went Hallucinogenic.
All for your therapeutic listening pleasure…
