King Harvest (1972) ?????‎– LOST 70s GEMS

From King Harvest's 1972 album, Dancing in the Moonlight, with it's obvious title song the hit selling an album mainly made up of tunes from their actual debut album, I Can Tell, released the prior year. Aside from Dancing in the Moonlight there are only two other new additions; Lady, Come On Home and You and I.



Lady, Come On Home is a horn driven New Orleans tune with it's revved up Rock n Roll electric piano, soulful harmonies, country pop lead vocal, a sax solo and occasional clean country guitar too. The romantic chorus is good as is the funky Purdie shuffle, cowbell, maracas etc of the holy church singalong coda.

You And I starts with some awesome folk guitar lines before a ghostly vocal and their typical organ based funk sound enters; there is a British Invasion vibe strong to this song from the 1972 album which is a bit odd, or maybe a bit prog? The gentle choruses about searching for love is also quite pleasant. But I'm ultimately going to go with Lady, Come on Home here.
