MEADOWS END ~ MEADOWS END (30TH ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED EDITION) NMC (ISRAEL) 81905 (Barcode: 7290010932894) ~ ISRAEL ~ Folk-Rock Recorded: 1976- 1977Released: 2006 Only album by the Israeli trio Meadows EndFind albums by this artist, which was the first and almost solitary attempt to create a local answer to the Folk / Rock genre. Beautiful vocal harmonies and acoustic guitars resemble of course the work of groups like Crosby, Stills & NashFind albums by this artist, but the music is completely original. All three members of the group were very accomplished singers and instrumentalists, this in addition to being songwriters and musical arrangers. They worked for over a year to collect and polish the material recorded on this album, which at the time was considered vastly advanced musically. Unfortunately the group disbanded shortly after the album was released and remained almost completely forgotten in the last 30 years.
Listening to this music clearly shows the brilliant qualities captured on tape many years ago, which remain unblemished and are quite breathtaking even now. Bringing this forgotten gem back to life is most warmly welcome and kudos to the label for unearthing this important document of the local music scene. For lovers of the Israeli music created during the local scene’s Renaissance Days in the 1970s this is an absolute must.
