Album Description 2007 reissue of this Prog Rock classic including bonus tracks originally available on the seven inch single included with early copies of the original LP. Though it made little commercial impact on its release in 1972, Rare Bird?s ?Epic Forest? has since been widely acclaimed as a classic of the pre-Punk era: a unique album that fuses the emotional reach of Classical music with the harmonies of '60s Pop. This album is somewhere between Procol Harum, The Moody Blues and West Coast Psychedelia, and ?Epic Forest? is one of the masterpieces of Progressive Rock. El. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA walk back 30+ years Jim W | Florida USA | 05/17/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first heard Rare Bird in late 1973 and fell in love with "Hey Man". I bought the album (remember albums?), then lent it to a friend in the late 70's and never saw it again. For 25 years I've tried to find a copy and was amazed when I saw Epic Forest available on Amazon. As soon as I received and played the CD it brought me right back to the 70's. Yet the sounds of this band are timeless. I hear shades of Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Stevie Winwood, Steely Dan and Jethro Tull in the unique style of Rare Bird. The vocal harmonies, acoustics, and hard licks are in great diversity, but make the listening very easy. I realize that I had pretty good musical tastes 30+ years ago. I just wonder why the band wasn't a greater commercial success. This was a purchase that I will cherish for a long time.Epic Forest" Buy it now B. E Jackson | Pennsylvania | 03/23/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Want to know what it feels like to have tears of joy? Then you're going to LOVE this Rare Bird album called Epic Forest. Growing up in southeast Pennsylvania, I grew up around Amish country, lots of fields, and spent quite a lot of my childhood walking up and down the fields having my own little adventures with the outdoors. That's what's so great about being a kid- just having fun and exploring life. This album brings back all those memories, and makes me feel those special times again. Something about the way the vocals come across on this album is just amazing- they sound similar to Crosby, Stills and Nash sometimes, and other times remind me of Joe Walsh (such as on the title song) and this is yet another fine example why the 70's are as good as they were. There's also some Doobie Brothers influences such as on "You're Lost". Boy these guys knew how to make a song good and very listenable, and it's a shame they weren't more popular, especially here in the States. Don't worry about the fact this is much different from the earlier Rare Bird albums- this stuff is really just as good as the older stuff. This album just breathes life and special memories to me, and you may find yourself experiencing the same thing whether you grew up in the 70's or not. Give this album a chance. " Rare Gem gibfv | South Africa | 03/05/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album must rate as the most underated rock album of all time What a diamond that was left undiscovered There is not a single bad track on this album.With fantastic harmonies and the double guitars and amazing keyboards this is an unforgettable album if you have it you were a true conniseur of good music if you missed it its not too late to buy the CD now"
