Heron: “Lord & Master” (1970)
Wonderfully rustic acoustic British folk from a band who were so uncomfortable working in a studio that they recorded out in a field near the Thames River. You can actually hear bird song in some of the quiet moments at the beginning or end of a song. Heron’s debut eschewed drums completely; it’s just acoustic guitars with organ and accordion touches and nothing overwhelming the gentle vocals.
