As I say at the start of the video, strap yourself in for some serious "stylistic whiplash" here, as I discuss a comprehensive collection of (occasionally) psychedelic orchestrated harmony pop by the obscure '60s combo Wild Silk; the strutting late night R&B, sweaty swamp funk and cosmic country melancholy of The Birds/Jeff Beck Group/Faces/Rolling Stones stalwart Ron Wood's understated second solo platter; both long players by the West Coast-obsessed Aussie folk rockers Wooden Horse and a startling recording of the lone improv freak out concert by Yamash'ta & The Horizon, a genre-blurring quartet headed up by legendary percussionist Stomu Yamash'ta and also featuring Taj-Mahal Travellers' drone god Takehisa Kosugi on deadly fuzz violin duties!
