Max Yasgur's Farm
SALUTE!
|
Doug Robertson
NEW CLOTHES
|
The newest old times band -
"MAX YASGUR'S FARM -
A salute to Woodstock Era
acoustic music" takes the
stage and brings you on a
tour of the summer of love.
|
Doug's album, "New Clothes"
has been described as a
diverse mix, from having a
mellow revival tone in his song
'Bridge Builder' to blues in
'Life's in the Blood'.

Max Yasgur's Farm is comprised of
Doug Robertson, Bene Michael,
Sarah Anderson and blues
guitarist Dan Mikeal.
Instead of striving to re-create note
for note renditions of the songs
they cover, these musicians looked
deeper to reconnect with the passion
of the era. "Sure, we strive to get
the music right," explains founder
Doug Robertson, "but we listen to the
concerts and try to capture the heart
of the live performances of the time."
And capture they do. Their Freshman
release: "SALUTE", features a rendition
of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" that is
patterned after the Crosby Stills & Nash
performance of the song when this
brand new, scared trio played it with
only one guitar and three vocals to
half a million people in a disaster
area called Woodstock. Yasgar's Farm
is electrifying. With acoustic instruments,
they somehow manage to move, drive
and rock the house.
"We perform songs that cover bands
don't touch." beams Robertson.
It's true! "SALUTE" features the
early Beatles "Anna", and "I Should
Have Known Better"; Mama's & Papa's
"California Dreaming"; Moody Blues
"Story in your Eyes"; and
Doby Grey's "Drift Away."
The band also throws in jaw dropping
vocal harmonies with CSN's
"Helplessly Hoping"; Neil Diamonds
"Solitary Man"; Judy Collins "Someday
Soon"; America's "Ventura Highway";
and the Eagles "Peaceful Easy Feeling"
Outstanding acoustic guitar work
highlights the blues favorite "Before
You Accuse Me" and the album is
topped off with Sergeant Pepper
seasoning in their tongue in
cheek original song, "Shove It."
This is a great representation of the
abilities of this authentic Woodstock
tribute band. Hopefully, it is the
beginning of many more appearances
by max Yasgur's Farm.
