The Guess Who: “Guess Who’s Back”

milkwood-tapestryMilkwood Tapestry was the New York duo of Joseph Ransohoff and Roland Antonelli who met while in a Cisco training class. The duo played together between 1968-1972 releasing only one self-titled album on the Metromedia label in 1969. The music on the album ranges from the wild acid guitar style of songs like “Beyond The Twelve Mile Zone” to the laid back string laden pop sounds of “Wonderous Fairy Tale”.

This legendary album is all over the place with its folksy baroque ballads, heavy progressive rock sounds and wild psychedelic fuzz songs . An interesting collection that is sure to perk up the ears of any 70′s rock fan.

This superb reissue of the original album by Gear Fab records also contains seven bonus tracks as well as liner notes by band member Ransohoff. Although the Milkwood Tapestry was originally billed as a folk-rock duo, the band was so much more than that and now, over thirty years after its original release, fans will finally be able to discover what made the band so sought after and praised in collectors circles.
