Natural Food was one such band that emerged in Boston during the 1960s and early 1970s. It was a result of the latter squalls, hippiedom, which centered its cultural and social focus on the Vietnam War. Although rock music was the king, there was plenty of music that was available. Many blues, blues, funk and bluegrass singers and songwriters were able to put out music quickly and cheaply. Some world music even appeared on the scene. This was especially true in college towns, where musical inventions were combined with other disciplines such as theater, poetry and activism. Boston was home to Harvard, Boston College and MIT. The Berklee School of Music attracted the most talented, curious, and adventurous people from all walks of life — including a large number of guitarists. As a student at college, Mait Edey was a composer and pianist. He had been involved in various forms of roots music across the spectrum. The album was one of a few titles that Edey released on his private Seeds imprint, which he started in 1972. This is a unique blues album. It was made by a group of blues, jazz, and rock musicians, as well as a singer who wasn’t a professional singer. The record features Edey’s Fender Rhodes at the forefront making it as funky and funky as can be. Luke Mosling’s Porter Records label, Winter Park, FL, reissued this amazing little set on CD. As part of his original offering of three titles. from http://www.cduniverse.com
