KOREAN PSYCH-ROCK & ACID FOLK reissues : Bang Eui-Kyung

Rhythm-On MusicBang Eui Keyong : Collection of my Songs (SK,1972,re.2011)***°

possible airplay tr.(3),4,9,10,(12 ?)

This is an inspired songwriter album of (an attractive, convincing) voice with acoustic guitar only, with mostly melancholic, sensitive songs with clearly a story in them. I am not sure if how much it will work for all western listeners to maintain attentive listening from start to finish to this collection of somewhat comparable songs, but one should be able to recognise its qualities. One very good song (accompanied by acoustic guitar and some mouth harmonica passages) is sung by a mature or slightly smoked voice of a male singer.

airplayed : Tr.11, "title ?" 3 min

The quality of my copy isn't too great, so I prefered not to airplay much of it.

Folkie Jin comment: "This album is Ultra rare and the highest price record in Korean folk records. Normal price is over 2000 $!! Every Korean folk collectors wanting killer item!! Although it has a nNormal female S/SW sound it has very fragile and deep feeling female voice and it gives nostalgia towards the 70s to Korean old music fans."
