1971's Out of Nowhere: Rare 70s American Singer-Songwriter Vinyl

EPYSODE 17: Out Of Nowhere by Henry Schifter.

Guest: Henry Schifter.

Additional commentary by Uncle Herff.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

Here we have yet another album by a one-and-done artist.

Henry was an American guitarist who released a few singles with a few labels in the sixties. He finally got the opportunity to record a full-length album in 1971, though he had to go to France to do it.

He recorded a strong album, and one that should have warranted some follow ups but it never came to pass. 

Henry shares some great stories about the recording of the album, his run-in with Johnny Rivers (spolier alert: he didn't like him) and a great tale that includes a cool looking belt, a pistol and weed. What a rock and roll trifecta!

Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you enjoy "Out Of Nowhere" as much as I do.
