Lance Hayward at the Half Moon Hotel (1959)

A collision of peppy, lightweight piano exotica and dreamy cabana jazz. You can taste the grapefruit of the Paloma in your hand.

271: Ya Ho Wa 13 // I'm Gonna Take You Home

I'm Gonna Bring You Home Ya Ho Wa 13 1974, Higher Key

Say this for the Source Family cult: they could cook some mean vegetarian food and make some banging psych rock. Long time divorcés may remember I covered the cult in some detail way back in episode 92 when I looked at the self-titled record by Aquariana, one of the 13 wives of the Family’s leader Father Yod (born Jim Baker). That record was a quiet solo piano and vocals affair; by contrast 1974’s I’m Gonna Take You Home is thunderous improvised acid rock, the genuinely excellent band convulsing around periodic interjections from Baker himself on vocals and amateurish percussion.

The Ya Ho Wa 13 records were conceived of by Baker as a recruiting technique, emphasizing the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll vibe of the cult. Baker, a goliath Zeus-looking motherfucker in flowing white robes and designer aviators (that's him nailing the girl on the cover), would stand center stage high as bejeezus banging on his giant ritual drum and talking freestyle jive about energy and free love while his band did their thing at filling-rattling volume for the mostly bewildered gawkers. At times, I’m Gonna Take You Home brings to mind the frenzied visionary nonsense of Amon Düül II, with Baker undergoing a primal scream colonic while his 13 stretching out over four lengthy unnamed pieces that flow together without pause. I admittedly picked this up as much on account of my interest in cult objects as my curiosity about its contents, but it actually rips. Not perhaps in the tippy-top tier of jammy psych rock, but fans of the sound (and twentieth century esoterica) will find much to green out on here.
