Red Hash is definitely a good album. Classic melancholy folk that goes somewhere. Almost every song is really interesting despite how soft and low key they are. My one complaint is that one or two of the songs sound horribly dated. "Unable to Fly" for example is just way too authentically hippie-ish for me. Really cloying flute and high-pitched vibrato vocals remind me of why I don't like much late 60s/early 70s folk. But still - I do really like most of the album a lot. Makes me think of Nick Drake if he was an American hippie.
