RICHIE HAVENS - INDIAN ROPE MAN

"Indian Rope Man" and the LP that it was drawn from (Richard P. Havens) was released in the spring of 1969; just a few short months before his triumphant opening set at the Woodstock Festival, captured on celluloid for all eternity.

This track is a real gas- Richie's droning, opening tuned guitar proved to be a great match for a droning, psychedelic backing track; the bass player and drummer kick up a groove that's kinda like the 1970 James Brown band slowed down from 45 RPM to 33.

from 1969...
