Doheny Ned: Ned Doheny

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 1973 album. Most recent converts to the world of Ned Doheny discovered his genius via Hard Candy or Prone. Our introduction was by way of Postcards From Hollywood a cult song from his stunning self-titled debut album. Beautifully poignant it can only be found on said LP. And whilst his later albums are rightly revered Postcards and the nine additional tracks that comprise this exceptional opening statement represent a criminally overlooked gem. Original vinyl copies of this album are extremely rare and correspondingly expensive so were thrilled to present the first ever vinyl reissue of a true lost classic. Of everything he recorded we know this LP to be Neds favorite. An intoxicating brew of acoustical jazzrock folk and countryrock delivered in Neds supremely laid back West Coast style it features gorgeous melodic lines throughout complimented by his distinctly funky overtones and tightly coordinated instrumental textures. With albums as perfect as this it is routinely tricky to identify standout tracks. However rivalling the heartbreaking Postcards is the phenomenally propulsive Lashambeaux strident opener Fineline and On And On featuring the harmony vocals of Graham Nash. When a beginner s guide to Ned surfaced last year he and many others were surprised by the startling number of omissions from his best album. You can now enjoy the fleshed out nondemo versions of these wonderful originals.
