Description
Fool’s Gold is an album by the American country-rock band Kentucky Faith (later morphing into Brush Arbor), independently released on Mark Records in 1970, with distribution by Sonrise. The album was recorded by Buck Herring at Abbey Sound Ltd in Hollywood, California; with Twyla Morrison producing. Featuring appearances by brothers Danny and Dennis Agajanian. Includes a cover of the Love Song classic “Front Seat, Back Seat” written by Chuck Girard and Tommy Coomes, recorded here “by special permission.”
In the fall of 1971, Kentucky Faith broke up, and their lead singer Ken Munds and bassist Dave Rose were asked to join The Rice Kryspies, a 1960’s-era bluegrass/folk group featuring brothers Wayne, Jim and Joe Rice, as well as drummer Pat Stevens. (The Rice Kryspies – also featuring Wayne’s wife, Marci, on bass – had been together for about 4 years, playing mostly camps, coffee houses and churches around Southern California.) The new combo changed it’s name to Brush Arbor (after having played a couple of dates as The Country Church).
Pre-Brush Arbor band with all the ingredients for good truck-drivin’ country rock: guitar, banjo, mandolin, steel guitar, fiddle, harmonica. Those who enjoy bands like The Amazing Rhythm Aces and Pure Prairie League should also appreciate Kentucky Faith’s original songs like «On A Hill», «Open Your Eyes», «Come To The Rock» and the title track, as well as their covers of «Salty Dog Blues», «Life Is Like A Mountain Railroad», «I Bowed My Head» (a Hank Williams tune) and Love Song’s «Front Seat, Back Seat». Several special musicians helping, out including Dennis and Danny Agajanian. A custom LP that had some distribution by Sonrise Publications. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
