The Wizards From Kansas
An obscure country-psych rock relic from Kansas. In 1968 four of the five original members of The Wizards From Kansas formed a band called New West, and began playing in the Lawrence, Kansas area, at clubs and parties. Californian guitarist Robert Manson Crain joined the group soon thereafter, expanding to a quintet. Reaching on the same esoteric drift as Clear Light or Emitt Rhodes, the band unleashed an even excellent cover of Buffy Sainte-Marie 'Cod'ine,' more in the vein of Quicksilver M.S.
