On September 8, 2024, fans of folk and psychedelic music were treated to a rare gem from the past with the resurfacing of Guitar Ensemble's album, The You-N-You (1971). The album, previously thought to be lost, has now been made available for streaming and listening on various platforms including the prominent music blog, Ezhevika Fields.
Guitar Ensemble, known for their intricate melodies and harmonies that combine elements of folk and psychedelia, originally released The You-N-You at a time when such music was beginning to gain traction across the United States. Unfortunately, the album never received the recognition it deserved during its time, relegating it to the shadows of music history until now.
Lisa Sinder, the curator behind Ezhevika Fields, has dedicated her platform to unearthing and promoting lost albums, allowing listeners to rediscover the culture encapsulated in these recordings. Her latest feature on Guitar Ensemble's The You-N-You serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of music that has largely gone unnoticed by mainstream audiences.
For those interested in diving deep into the sounds of the past, Ezhevika Fields offers a comprehensive overview of the Guitar Ensemble's work, alongside listening samples for a direct link to experience the art. This revival showcases not only the music itself but also the importance of preserving and sharing historical works that define the evolution of musical genres.
