about

Written 5,000 feet up in a cabin the sierra mountains, Eric Relph’s Pretty Darlin’ started as a just-for-fun project that gradually snowballed into a timeless document of breezy California living in the late 1970s. With collaborators like Bill Champlin (Sons of Champlin) and Michael Allsup (Three Dog Night), Relph cut his one and only LP at producer Allsup’s studio in Santa Monica and self-released it to little fanfare in 1978. Perhaps due in part to the evocative cover by surf artist Bill Ogden, psych gradually aficionados took notice, elevating the album to lost classic status.

A great comp to play when you are zonked. It is winter, but I wish it was fall and I could play this while sitting on my porch and watch the slow sadness of the cars that pass my house. HallandGorcey

Bought this for the periodical, but was pleasantly surprised by the music content. Numero really does find the best forgotten gems of yesterday. Enjoyed the upbeat track #2 with its loose drums and twangy guitar. Ryan Evans HTX

Some of these songs are a little too sad, like completely pathetic even for a total recluse loner freak but some are quite good! Old James
