Garth Hewitt (UK)

The Lion and The Lamb Myrrh 1973
Harmonica man Garth's first lp ranges from pure folk to gentle rock with soulful female background vocals and small band accompanying. Not quite as rootsy or heavy as Love Song For The Earth, though 'The Rock N Roll King' is fairly slammin' boogie. 'Glory Glory' jams pretty good also in a hand-clapping black gospel meets r & r style. Healthy dose of gospelly piano and that early Mylon sound. KS

I Never Knew Life Was in Full Technicolor Till I Saw The Silver Screen Myrrh 1974
This one skips stylistically from Bob Seger to Johnny Cash, country to Dixieland, string-arranged ballads (about four of them) to noisy harmonica wails (one). Bigger, smoother production values and nix on the female BGV's. Lovely shoulder-length hairdo. KS

Love Song for the Earth Myrrh 1976
Third lp from UK harmonica-toting patched bluejeans cowboy boots muscle shirt Greenbelt troubadour and the first to be co- released in the States. Begins and ends with stripped down numbers with nuthin' but Garth, mouth harp, and toetap. In between you'll find ten original compositions in a folk-rock- country format with Bryn Haworth handling acoustic, electric slide, mandolin. dobro, 12-string, and something called a 'harpolek'. Enough rustic influence to save it from the overpolished-British-male-solo syndrome. KS
