Lonnie Holley Just Before Music. Not sure how to describe this album. Outsider, spiritual freak-soul folk blues from somewhere in the Sun Ra galaxy. "Planet Earth and Otherwheres" is a 25 minute dirge sounding like it was composed somewhere on the astral planes. The album could have come off as a novelty but instead it works, and works powerfully. Great songwriting and vocals from start to finish.
