Fuzzy-Felt Folk is a collection of twee-folk oddities off obscure children's records from the '60s and '70s. Whether this stuff is intentionally as trippy and psyched-out as it is, who knows but we'll be damned if there aren't a half-dozen vocal snippets here that Edan could flip for his next album. A relative holy-grail for the "Puff the Magic Dragon" set, there's even some "naive experimental psychedelia" and "soundtrack demos" for you novelty fiends out there.

Now here's a record for all you Andy Votel wannabes out there. Fuzzy-Felt Folk is a collection of twee-folk oddities off obscure children's records from the '60s and '70s. Whether this stuff is intentionally as trippy and psyched-out as it is, I don't know; however, I'll be damned if there aren't a half-dozen vocal snippets here that Edan could flip for his next album. Fuzzy-Felt Folk is a relative holy-grail for the "Puff the Magic Dragon" set, and there's even some "naive experimental psychedelia" and "soundtrack demos" for you novelty fiends out there. If anything, this comp proves conclusively that progress is indeed a myth, and that sh*t was, indeed, way cooler like three decades ago. Raffi, eat your heart out. [HG] (August 10, 2006)
