Since its late-�90s rediscovery, Dave Bixby�s fabled 1969 private-press LP has been hailed by serious collectors as the crown jewel of the loner/downer folk canon�often trading hands for around $2,000. First reissued by us in 2009, it now returns in a newly upgraded edition with fresh source material, remastered audio, and added extras.
After stints in Michigan �60s folk and garage outfits like The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, Bixby switched to acoustic guitar and began experimenting with LSD. A year of heavy use left him shattered; seeking meaning, he embarked on a spiritual quest and, in just six weeks, wrote �Ode to Quetzalcoatl� along with much of the follow-up, Harbinger�s �Second Coming.�
With help from fellow musician Brian MacInness�who contributes additional guitar�Bixby recorded �Quetzalcoatl� on an echo-drenched four-track in a small apartment living room. The result is stark and intimate: mostly acoustic guitars with occasional harmonica and flute, framing Bixby�s haunted vocals, spiritual lyricism, and finely honed songwriting.The opener, the chilling �Drug Song,� sets the tone for a suite of equally tormented pieces, including �666,� �Lonely Faces,� �Open Doors,� and �Secret Forest.�
