OK I just listened to Essra Mohawk for the first time and she blew my entire ass away

Primordial Lovers (1970) was re-released in 2014. She was signed to Asylum Records, but this album was overshadowed by others on the label, mainly Jackson Browne and The Eagles, which with uh all due respect to the lads is a fucking shame.

Essra Mohawk, Self-Described Flower Child Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 75

She missed a shot at Woodstock glory. But she recorded well-received albums under her own name and worked with Frank Zappa, Jerry Garcia and

Essra Mohawk, a prolific singer-songwriter and self-described flower child. Her soulful, dreamlike songs captured the sunny optimism of the Woodstock era. Her varied career included performing with Frank Zappa and Jerry Garcia and her song, Change of Heart, turned into a hit single by Cyndi Lauper.

Over the course of a career that lasted more than a half century, Ms. Mohawk never achieved the fame of contemporaries like Joni Mitchell, Carole King or Laura Nyro (to whom she was often compared). And she missed a chance at hippie immortality when her driver took a wrong turn on the way to the Woodstock festival in 1969.

Otra que me gusta muchísimo de Essra Mohwak, la apertura de "Primordial Lovers" (Reprise, 1970). Una canción mágica titulada "I Am The Breeze", dirigida tan sólo por un piano y su chiflante voz. Algo entre Laura Nyro y el naciente british prog rock, no sé... Family, King Crimson (los futuros Roxy Music, ese oboe...). Una cosa rara perfectamente cuadrada.

Adiós a la primera "Mother of Invention" femenina de la historia, Sandra Elayne Hurvitz (aka Jamie Carter, aka Sandy Hurvitz, aka Essra Mohawk, aka "Uncle Meat") que compuso canciones para las Shangri-Las, Vanilla Fudge, Cindy Lauper y Tina Turner. Muy destacado ese "Primordial Lovers" de 1970, su segundo álbum en solitario, en cosas como "Spiral".

Essra Mohawk como Jamie Carter en 1964 en "The Boy With The Way", uno de esos inexplicables "misses" de las listas de éxitos, tanto por la buena composición como por los arreglos y su especial voz e interpretación única para esos días. Esto es como el "White Rabbit" de 007 o una cosa así...
