================================================================================

"Homer" is very much underrated and forgotten classic band, which deserves to be better known. Texans from San Antonio (originally), they moved to Houston by 1969, where a string of 45s was released on Universal Recording Artists - starting with the cover of Willie Nelson's "I Never Cared For You". Although the music of the band has strong American roots (one can easily pinpoint elements of country and distinctive sound of steel guitar), they had an inclination towards quite heavy psychedelia and acquired a taste of British prog (Moody Blues, for example) with sophisticated and richly orchestrated compositions and unison singing ("Four Days And Nights Without You" and "lonely Woman" could easily be on vintage Uriah Heep album, while "Cyrano In The Park" has a distant flavour of Maurice Ravel). Quite often high-pitched vocals just give up meditative British melancholy, and go into sheer acid hysteria. It's true that the band is more prog than psych.
