A Dream A While Back

GARY HIIGINS is back from the time-space continuum with previously unheard moments from his storied past. Way back in 2005, Drag City reintroduced his 1974 psych-folk classic Red Hash to listeners around the world, who were acutely touched by Gary's carefully-arranged, darkly utopian songs. Since then, Red Hash has been widely recognized as a classic of it's time. Since then, Gary has played shows around the U.S., something that he was unable to do in the mid-'70s when Red Hash came out, due to incarceration on trumped-up drug possession charges. It was a good feeling, playing his songs for people who were moved by them, so Gary decided to record some new ones, and in 2009, his first new recordings in over thirty years were issued as the album Seconds.. His sound was neither revisited nor updated; natural evolution had occurred and the songs were unmistakably Gary Higgins; older, and different, yet unchanged.
