The acoustic, folk-influenced group Appaloosa was the project of violinist Robin Batteau and guitarist/songwriter/singer John Parker Compton. Their lone release, 1969's APPALOOSA, bears the heavy scent of the '60s coffeehouse scene, with overtones of jazz (there's some nice saxophone work here) and Renaissance minstrel sounds (a la Steeleye Span) threaded through literate, melancholic singer-songwriter fare. The combination works nicely, and makes for a nice listen that will especially appeal to fans of '60s folk. …a Collectors Choice Music exclusive!
