Different Strokes For Different Folks are delighted to announce the release of one of the great folk rock albums of the ’70s; ‘Stargazer’ by Shelagh McDonald. Originally released in 1971, produced by the legendary Sandy Roberton and featuring the likes of Richard & Danny Thompson, Keith Christmas and members of Mighty Baby & Fotheringay, the album has been talked about in glowing terms by an ever increasing fanbase over the years. It’s a beautiful mixture of folk, psychedelic flourishes and adventurous production combining majestically with Shelagh’s exquisite songwriting and purity of voice. Imbued with the finest instrumentation and vocal delicacy in late ‘60s folk, the record is heightened by a progressive production approach; the slow organ grooviness in the traditional ‘Dowie Dens of Yarrow’, uplifting gospel overtones of ‘Odyssey’ and the perfect match of melancholic piano and haunting strings by Robert Kirby on the title track. These sublime arrangements all serve Shelagh’s songwriting and soulful voice that invoke the finest folk traditions but at the same time look forward. For fans of Pentangle, Incredible String Band and Joni Mitchell, as well as the solo records from members of some of the biggest U.S. bands of the  1970s; David Crosby’s ‘If Only I Could remember My Name’ and Gene Clark’s ‘No Other’. Its psychedelic cover art by the design collective Davis/Berney/Wade is wonderfully reproduced here by Nick Taylor. In addition, we’re delighted that Thomas Patterson from Shindig! Magazine provides liner notes for this reissue which serves as the inaugural release of Different Strokes For Different Folks.
