Homestead & Wolfe - Our Times



Despite the 1975 release date this wonderful record is filled with mostly late sixties sounds. JoAnne Avery and Janice Gundy’s vocals are the foundation of the album, with great group sounds from all. Brian Gundy sings lead on “Roll On Tumbleweed” and “Beat of the Drum.” The band also had help from some big time session players such as Al Casey and Hal Blaine. A solid album with great songs, great songwriting and great musicianship. The name Homestead & Wolfe was derived from the corner streets of the Good Samaritan United Methodist Church in Cupertino, CA where the group met. There’s a lot to enjoy here, links in comments. And as always if you like it... buy it!
