Excellent Country rock from 1970. Unfortunately there is little info on this band to be found on the internet, so if you have any let me know. Members are Charley D. Harris - guitar/vocals, Lon Milo DuQuette - guitar/vocals, Joe Wilson - guitar, Dave Dunn - bass/violin, Dave Ledbetter - drums. . If you like Gram Parsons, Flying Burrito Bros. or Mike Nesmith, you'll love this. A totally obscure country gem.
UPDATE: I have recently received comments from both Charley D's son and Lon Milo Duquette! Since I originally posted this album I have grown to really love it. Not very often that you find an album where you like every song. I can safely say that i like every song on this one! Awesome, awesome album. I would put it near my top faves fer sure! Thank you men for giving us this!

OMG! I'd completely forgotten about this band. Had 'em on 8-track. Thanks for the post!!
thanks for this gem
Charles Dennis Harris (now Charley Packard) is my Father. He was the lead singer of Charley D. and Milo. If you would like some info about Charley D. and Milo please let me know.
Check out the latest info & listen/purchase Charley Packard music at www.charleypackard.com. He still writes, performs, & releases new music!

Thanks for the very kind review.
This is Milo (Lon Milo DuQuette). Charley and I and David Dunn of the original group have twice gotten together in the last few years for weekends of picking and grinning.
Charley (now Charley Parker) lives in Idaho and still writes songs and plays professionally. He's got some great CDs!
My wife, Constance, and I still live in Costa Mess, California.
I still write and play, but on a less heroic level. I write books and lecture about esoteric things mostly.

I do have a new CD of my songs available at:

I have the old LP and you are rigth: every song is a gift for the spirit.
As Charley D's son writes, at www.charleypackard.com there is wonderful music too.
Seems the kudo's are deserved! "Sylphs and gnomes and un-dines too---Sa-la-manders beckon you..." indeed! These lines and simple harmonied repetitions will come to haunt your sleep, in a most pleasant hooky way...the kettle drums and girl vocal....the Dylan AND Farina covers...it's true every song is strong and special). Oboy
finds like this are groovy, great things always yet to be unearthed from those rich once-in-a-lifetime late 60s veins. Now to visit the artists' current sites!
a-a-nd that Mr Muggles song toward the end if y'lissen close is a great POT song
This is great, I've been curiously looking for this album for a while. Thanks.
Just wondering (against hope), does the album case have lyrics, and would it be possible to get them up? Scanned or typed? That would be utterly amazing of you, thanks.

Hi, man!
I downloaded this album from you some time ago but I had to travel and didn't have time to listen to it then but I finished listening to this far out record a few minutes ago. Wow! What a great country rock band! The guys really deserved to hit the big time. I really can't understand how things happen!?!?! But I'm sure the late great Gram Parsons, in his grave, is proud of this work! I'd really would like to download more songs of this outstanding cosmic American band.
Greetings from Brazil!

It is unfortunate that this is the band's ONLY album. They did release a single before it and also made an appearance on a Johnny River's album, I can't remember the name right now. This is one of those hidden gems Mojo magazine will discover and all of the sudden it will have a huge underground following.
I as well cannot open the rar package. Any help here?
Ah... she won't be opened. not even with wine...
Hello phoneyfresh, could you please find it in your heart to release the password for the Charley D. And Milo post. The password listed musiconthefringe.blogspot.com does not work.
I had this album but it was stolen about a year ago in North Carolina.
I'd really like to still be able to listen to the album
Does anyone know where I can purchase this as a CD and/or music file(s) ?
thanks,
Hal S.
