Fat City - album Reincarnation 1969
  • 2 anni fa
Fat City were a male/female folk-psych-pop-rock duo formed in Washington, DC folk scene by husband and then-wife Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert. The album consists of catchy folk songs, baroque hints, psychedelic hippie flavors alternated to gritty rock edge songs with solid guitar work. Danoff & Nivert were also early supporters of Emmylou Harris years before her fateful encounter with Gram Parson. In 1971 Bill and Taffy co-wrote "Take me home, country roads" which became a huge hit for folk-rock icon John Denver and became frequent collaborators with him. After releasing a couple of unsuccessful albums, they hired a couple of glamorous singers and relaunched themselves as "The Starland Vocal Band", immediately scoring a chart-topping hit with "Afternoon delight".
