Notes

Raw psych with bluesy touch from these NAM veteran, actually the first post-vietnam record. Amazing songs, one of which was stolen
by Country Joe Mc Donald. Great vocals by Bill Homans.
The album was recorded for private use only to attract attention of big companies but strangely enough failed to do so. Some songs sound like early BEEFHEART, other are fragile and beautiful

...there once was a dirty war yonder in Vietnam, palmin' noble goats w/dreadful gas for the sake of a bloody, besotted ram! heavy gasp 'n stifle loaded to the (eye)balls w/greens, sharp metal 'n rifle; BILL HOMANS a.k.a. WATERMELON SLIM was there to follow the bugle call and to jump from his sleep for a 'xotic totem-creep and putting scars on the pole; He made it back (to the world) from Nam to recollect and gain a nifty little bag of thanks from Uncle Sam! ...with a mind weighin' heavy with achin' spell there really couldn't much be done to keep from maddenin' yell but to pick up a six-string shooter and plug to his own gospel; Bill with his brother and friends hit the studio and took a deep look into the eyes of the bearded man, enrolled 'em maps and unleashed 10 songs from the can. WOODSTOCK had just devoured and was digesting the babies of the gentle revolution and its heroes were either cashin' in fast or got slowly counted out! ...But somewhere a Nam-Vet was singin' 'bout napalm, a place called Quang-Tri City and 'bout a froggie takin' a bath; ...a burnin' path steamin' with slices of Van Vliet-cut BEEF chunks from a beastly HEART roasted in the smoulderin' halo of Father Guthrie's lost woody diary; scenes from a white-boy-blooz-pilgrimage out into swamps where strange lights are giggin' up ancient frogs; profound hollers smithened into lines for song tightly packed as by ghostly logs... songs that pour down like holy-grail-moonshine... If someone after listening to this album should still be inclined to ask for that lost ROBERTJOHNSON-song he sure can be considered bein' nuts, for somebody has already found it washed into the Mekong River Delta; he brought it home, tried his guts and put it under patronage of St. George! Now you may sing 'n write 'bout right 'n wrong, whereabouts of things 'n where they belong 'n fence your garden in... or... you take a drift out into meres of glanced ponder 'n kindle spark for instant wonder whilst subtle strains catch fire 'n provide some gleamin' wire for a song to forge. MERRY AIRBRAKES sure is part of the latter species! It's Catch 222! ...it's bigger than Lebowsky! ...it spills more drops of faith than a husky... cause somebody's been to hell and found his way back & there's more honesty to deal with here than you'll probably find in Santa's sack!
